| book description |

  A high-energy, brilliantly silly, fully illustrated festive adventure story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented artist Anita Mangan. Barry is a St Bernard dog who much prefers snoozing and farting in front of a cosy fire than going on daring rescue missions through high winds, driving snow and avalanches. On Christmas Eve, his humans Carrie and Laurence find a top-secret network of underground tunnels accessed by climbing into postboxes - and there's an extra special twist! The tunnels are designed for squirrels to transport presents from Father Christmas' workshop in the North Pole to all the children of the world. When a mysterious elf seems set on sabotaging the tunnels, the kids and Barry must stop him and SAVE CHRISTMAS! This funniest festive adventure is a must-read spin on The Night Before Christmas From the bestselling creators of The Fart That Changed the World and The Day I Fell Down the Toilet A laugh out loud celebration of the magic of Christmas    More Praise for Stephen & Anita's books: ""Brilliant, clever, kind of genius"" Graham Norton  ""Manages to feel both classic and modern at the same time"" Good Housekeeping  ""A beautiful and exciting adventure that ignites the imagination"" Edith Bowman   Stephen Mangan is a bestselling author, actor and presenter.
