Santa’s Marvellous Mechanical Workshop (PB)

A gorgeously illustrated celebration of creativity, upcycling and Christmas magic! It’s Christmas Eve at Lily’s new house, but Lily misses the old one. Then, in a moment of magic, she is whisked away to the North Pole! Santa’s elfbots need her help to invent new toys from used, discarded ones. Lily comes to learn that with a dash of imagination, she can make anything – even, perhaps, a new home…

The perfect give for young budding engineers who love to invent things! Perfect for fans of The Polar Express and Rosie Revere, Engineer. This is the picture-book debut of Vashti Hardy, the Blue-Peter-Book-Award-winning author of children’s novels known for their distinctive fusion of imagination and invention. Illustrator and rising star Katie Cottle was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
