We're feeling festive and giving away 50 copies of this adorable Christmassy story plus Blue Kangaroo plush toy! You can apply for yours now.

It's Christmas Eve, and Lily is excitedly wondering if Father Christmas will come. She has made cards for everyone and put presents under the tree, including one for her beloved toy, Blue Kangaroo. But Blue Kangaroo hasn't got a gift for Lily - is there someone who can help?

We ask all winners to share their thoughts (and their children's thoughts) about the book on this discussion thread. However, you don't have to win a free copy to take part in the discussion - anyone who has read Merry Christmas, Blue Kangaroo! can post their feedback here (and you can buy the book now).

Everyone who posts feedback on the book on this thread before 27 December will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2shop voucher.

This giveaway is sponsored by HarperCollins

exciting book for the kids really makes bedtime fun

This was a great bed time read on the run up to Christmas. As with all kids, my 6 yr old was excited with the prospect of Christmas and this book had all the right ingredients and with him being a bit behind at school with his reading, he was keen to read some passages for himself. It also inspired him to decide what Christmas present to get his sister.

New to Blue Kangaroo - but would love to lean more

can't go wrong with a Blue Kangaroo book

grannybiker · 02/01/2017 22:22

Violet was most intrigued at the idea of a blue kangaroo! She does have a quirky sense of humour!

Would love to read this.

stewaris · 03/01/2017 14:01

I loved this as much as the kids. It was a really lovely read and they dcs enjoyed the similarities with the Chrismas traditions in the book and what we do at home.

I HAVE NOT READ IT BUT SOUNDS LIKE ONE TO WATCH

FoofFighter · 03/01/2017 19:40

We read this a lot in the end in the run up to Christmas, I'm kind of missing it! DD is having none of it though, it's not XMas anymore Mommy! little git still takes Bluey to bed though

GeorgeW78 · 03/01/2017 23:40

It's a useful book for dealing with the big event but it's fun too and can be read all the time!

RedKites · 05/01/2017 22:14

Hello, we received a copy of this, also by surprise. I realise I'm a little late for the competition, but just wanted to say thank-you. DS2, 4yo, really enjoyed the book and we ended up reading it three times just on the day he got it.
