Not every child welcomes the arrival of Santa Claus. The gentle humour of this book by a top author/artist team is the perfect solution for children who are afraid of Santa Claus.

Eventually, Emily writes Santa a note, telling him to come in through the back door, and go no further than the kitchen table!A classic Christmas tale from award-winning Hiawyn Oram and favourite illustrator Tony Ross about a little girl who isn't looking forward to Santa paying a visit this Christmas. Emily loves Christmas, but there is something about it which makes her heart sink: Santa Claus. Emily wants to block up the chimney and write Santa a note asking him kindly not to visit. But everyone's afraid of something, even Santa, and he may be more understanding than she thought...
