SANTA'S TROUSERS - an illustrated Christmas picture book written by Jon Markes

'Santa's Trousers' is the first of our children's Christmas story books, written by us a Cleggs under the pen name, Jon Markes and is a heartwarming Christmas story told through photographs of handmade felt characters.

It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa has lost his trousers!

The whole village is gathered and waiting for Santa to switch on the Christmas tree lights, but Santa is stuck at home in his stripy underpants. Agnes Mouse has washed, dried and ironed everything, so where have his trousers gone?

'Santa’s Trousers' is a funny, festive picture book told through photographs of handmade felt characters in a snowy woodland village. Santa sends message after message down the hill, asking for help from a skiing sheep, a lovesick reindeer, a forgetful donkey and a very sleepy hedgehog. Will his trousers ever make it back before the lights go on? And just who is wearing them?

In this book, you will meet a cast of lovable characters, including Agnes Mouse, Sandra Sheep, Rodney Reindeer, Dennis Donkey, Heather Hedgehog, Gordon Gnome and Santa’s dog Buddy.

Filled with gentle, silly humour that will children giggle, (underpants guaranteed!), this short, simple text is ideal for reading aloud or for early readers.

Perfect for

Christmas Eve bedtime reading;

Stocking fillers and Advent calendar gifts;

Parents, grandparents and teachers looking for a funny Christmas story.
