A little red robin - who just so happens to be the world's most wanted thief - has a rather unusual plan this festive season. He hates Christmas, and so he's going to STEAL it - baubles, mince pies, Santa, and all! But Rotten Robin hadn't realised the feathers he'd ruffle by taking away the Yuletide celebrations - and when he's forced to give back everything he's stolen, he realises that Christmas might not be that bad after all... This brand new Christmas story from picture book rising star Rachel Morrisroe and illustrator talent Richard Merritt is a unique take on a festive tale, full of humour and heart - and the perfect Christmas gift.
What we say: Does it have some similarities with another well known grumpy Christmas thief? Yes. Is it still worth a read because the writing and illustrations are very funny? Absolutely. Should it be made into a cartoon? Also yes.
