Title:
The New Bum Series: My Bum is SO CHRISTMASSY!
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 9780702322723
Overview:
This festive, giggle-powered picture book from Dawn McMillan invites children aged 3–7 into the cheeky cheer of Christmas with The New Bum Series’ beloved hero. My Bum is SO CHRISTMASSY! follows a little boy whose festive excitement is matched only by his mischievous bottom, turning everyday Christmas Eve and Day preparations into a collage of zingy rhymes, bright illustrations, and warm family moments. The book’s playful rhythm makes it an engaging read-aloud choice for caregivers and early readers alike, helping young listeners join in with the cadence while spotting visual jokes on every page. With a shiny gold cover designed to catch a child’s eye, the story blends holiday magic with lighthearted mischief—perfect for family storytime, classroom shared reading, and holiday gifting. It’s a sparkling, accessible entry point to the New Bum Series that rewards repeated readings, strengthens phonemic awareness, and leaves a smile long after the final page is turned.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Dawn McMillan’s signature warmth and humour anchor a festive tale that refuses to take itself too seriously. The book leverages rhyme, repetition, and bright, bold illustrations to engage early readers and build confidence with new words and rhythm. The central joke—a cheeky bum navigating Christmas chaos—offers naughty-but-non-threatening humor that kids quickly recognize as playful. The combination of a relatable holiday setting, a lovable, imperfect protagonist, and storylines that invite giggles without sacrificing heart makes this title a standout in children’s Christmas literature. The hardcover-like energy of the shiny cover and the accessible paperback format also makes it ideal for gifting, school libraries, and growing personal mini-collections around the holiday season.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This book is a natural fit for families with young children who enjoy humour, holiday books, and read-alouds that invite participation. It works well for parents, grandparents, and teachers seeking a festive picture book that blends laughter with a gentle dose of holiday anticipation. It’s also an excellent gift idea for Christmas stocking stacks, class book exchanges, and readers who already love the New Bum Series. For emerging readers, the rhyming text supports decoding practice, while for experienced readers, the recurring joke provides a satisfying, predictable rhythm that fosters page-turning anticipation.
