Wenn bei Weihnachtsvorbereitungen so viel schief geht, kann es doch am Ende nur ein wunderbares Fest werden. „Von Clarice Bean können wir nicht genug kriegen.“ (The Sunday Times) Mit umwerfenden Collagen und Illustrationen: Hier ist jede Seite ein eigenes Kunstwerk Von einer der renommiertesten Kinderbuchkünstlerinnen Europas (u.a.
