Christmas Books for a 7 year old

[Binfullofgibletsonthe26th]

I'm looking for some recommendations. DS enjoys reading, and I don't want to miss out on sharing a Christmas book with him just because he's 7.

He's a pretty good at reading, he's onto Roahl Dahl novels at school. However his favourite leisure read is Captain Underpants.

I am only in the UK for 2 days, so I need to go armed to shop with a good list.

Are there any good Christmas themed reads for boys at that age that wise MNers can recommend?

the book people website is great for good priced books.amazon has the dinosaur cove ones in packs of 10!

Anchovies - that sounds lovely, the reviews were great. Do you think it will be possible to buy it in Waterstones or WH Smith, these are the only 2 bookshops I know in Brighton (visiting family)?

That sounds right up his street. I'll definitely look up those two.

He loves sprouts, and I have the Vicar of Dibley to thank for that. He's always doing the sprout eating challenge with DH!

Yes to all dinosaur Christmas related books! Huge Fan.

I really value the recommendations - I won't have time for a good browse, and it's nice to hear about books that kids have genuinely enjoyed.

this is my favourite book ever. It is expensive but is a lovely book to read together and my 3 dcs love it as much as I do!

my son has his eye on "the dinosaur that pooed xmas"-a picture/sharing story

waterstones have some books about the lonely brussel sprout-kind of cartoon styly but my ds thought it was funny

non xmas themed he loves astrosaurs/donisaur cove/beast quest/how to train you dragon books
