Done. I've got two boys who love Christmas books - they've been reading theirs all year round, and got very upset when I suggested putting them away in June

Sounds lovely and actually having blue kangaroo would really bring the story to life

received a copy of the blue kangaroo in the post today I take it I must of won it from you but didn't get a email from you saying I had, the kids will love it well leave feed back once we all have read it

I love those books from when my children were little.

This arrived as a lovely surprise today. Both DD (6) and DS (3) loved the story. We've already read it together about six times! The idea of Blue Kangaroo celebrating his first Christmas really appealed to them as they could relate to Lily being excited showing Blue Kangaroo all the fun traditions. I liked the concept of wanting to be nice to others and doing special things at Christmas time. The illustrations are beautiful and getting our own Blue Kangaroo (already known as Bluey in our household) was a real bonus. Thank you.

Wahoo, our copy came today! I'm saving it for a big reveal at bedtime

Thank you for the copy of Merry Christmas Blue Kangaroo! I have just shared it with DS(6) who was thrilled to see it when he came home from school and loves his cuddly Blue Kangaroo (who looks just like the one in the book, which is wonderful!)

We have just snuggled up and read it together. It is a lovely story! I loved how it was very Christmassy, including all the things you do at Christmas (putting up the tree, making decorations, making cards, eating, putting up stockings and leaving milk and cookies for Santa). I also loved the message in it that it is lovely to receive things, but even better to give presents to people: that giving is better than receiving.

My son said it was an "emotional rollercoaster" (he's a little eccentric for a 6 year old)- and then explained this by saying that Blue Kangaroo was sad when Lily kept giving him presents and he couldn't give her anything and this made my son feel sad for him, but then he was really happy at the end when Blue Kangeroo gave Lily the heart.

He also liked how it kept repeating "just for you Blue Kangaroo" which he joined in with. And liked holding Blue Kangaroo and doing his voice towards the end of the book. Next time we read it, I think I'll be Lily and he can do all the Blue Kangaroo bits (he can read himself, but it's nice to share together).

Somehow we have missed Blue Kangaroo books until now, but I loved it and want to read the rest! I think this book will become a treasured part of our Christmas Library and Blue Kangaroo will find a special place on my son's bed.

Thank you for my book, was a lovely surprise. My one year old loved the kangaroo and has gone to bed with it. The story was quite sweet and very Christmassy, and the pictures were lovely. It was just the right length for a bedtime story and I can see we'll be reading this a lot in the run up to Christmas.

Our book arrived yesterday - a lovely surprise. I am saving this for a night when we are not rushing around like headless chickens!

Our copy has just arrived, much excitement! That's tonight's bedtime story sorted, will come back with our thoughts later.

We loved it in this house, the kangaroo is a favourite, It's a liked Christmas run up bedtime story for DD3.
