Tis the Season: A Lift-the-Flap Advent Calendar Full of Christmas Poems

A spectacular Advent calendar book filled with festive poems, hidden surprises, and a magical fold-out display! 

Count down to Christmas with well-loved poets, including Ogden Nash, Nikki Giovanni, John Agard, and Christina Rossetti and joyful artwork from Richard Jones. Peek inside the windows of the house to find a family wrapping presents, look behind a holly bush to find a little mouse, and see what’s happening in the town behind a glittering Christmas tree! 

This classic collection has a flap to lift alongside a special poem for every day of Advent and a fold-out accordion displaying a beautiful snowy landscape. With sturdy flaps, sparkling foil, and a ribbon-tie closure, this beautiful gift book is designed to be shared together—filling your family with festive cheer, year after year. 

Born in Warwickshire, Richard Jones has been living and working in Devon for over 20 years. After leaving university with a first-class degree in graphic design and illustration, he stayed on a little longer to complete a PhD. He spent several years working in a busy children's library, issuing and shelving other artists' picture books, before one day wondering if it wasn't about time he had a proper go at creating one or two himself! Richard now writes and illustrates from the smallest room in his home. Across the roof tops of Exeter, and between the rounded Devon hills, he can just about make out the distant sparkling sea.
