Alice goes north - Karen Wallace

Following her intrepid visit to Hollywood, our favourite anteater is back for another adventure. When Alice reads about Christmas in a magazine she realises that she and her fellow anteaters have been missing out. Why don't anteaters get Christmas presents? No one in the jungle can tell her, so to find the answer, she sets off on a hazardous journey to the icy North, in search of Father Christmas himself! A warm-hearted Christmas story that is sure to delight.
