I like that Holly and Tog try to find evidence for Ola but when they are looking Max finds them with a Santa outfit and then blew fairy dust at them. I liked that the reader got to find out that there is more than one type of christmas elf, as Tog is now training to be a reindeer elf. Tog got to meet Rudolph who can talk unlike the other reindeers. I like that Steinar has apology to Tog after saying he had no christmas spirit but in actually fact his spirit is so high it is off the scale, because of Santa loving the lemur Tog has became a toymaking elf. Tog later finds out on his first day of training that the tattoo is a prison tattoo and started to wonder has Santa been to prison. This would be a great text to model diary writing in school. There are not many truly engaging children's stories written in the format of a diary and could really capture children's attention for a writing unit.All I have to do is walk my brothers and sisters to school, clean the house, buy the food for supper, cook it, walk them home, help them with their homework and get them ready for bed. And I can’t even do that right. I like that chapter 49 is a high for Tog then chapter 50 says he is in police cell because his bag was full of lemurs that weren't his and could be charged with toy stealing. Bubbles with warmth and mischievous humour . . . irresistible' Alexander Armstrong on The Night I Met Father Christmas He explained to Chris: “I think for kids, it’s a gift to read a diary because when they read stories that are in the third person, brilliant as they are- it costs a kid a lot to read a book. You always have to remember that when you’re writing for children, it costs them to read. So, you want to write something that they’re going to absolutely love, and they’re going to find funny, and they’re going to find moving and then they’re going to get a lot out of the story.”

I like the different components in this book like the lists and bullet points. I also like that you get to meet more characters throughtout the chapters like Tog's older siblings Bay and Bo. Oh, and just in case it’s a human reading this (it’s always possible): elves live ten times as long as humans. So one hundred and sixty to us is like sixteen to you. Wednesday 22 October

Unfortunately he is quite short, so all we could see behind the table was his red velvet hat. Ben was the 9th biggest bestselling Children’s Fiction Author in 2021. Beloved by families around the UK his books include The Day I Fell Into A Fairytale, How I Became a Dog Called Midnight and The Boy Who Made the World Disappear.
