Brian, The Big Brained Romney/Brian Saves Christmas, by Yvonne Morrison & Deborah Hinde

From the publisher: Brian is a new lamb born to a couple of the sheep that pull Santa’s tractor. But Brian doesn’t like rugby – or flying, for that matter. He’d much rather gaze at the stars than fly through them. But brainy Brian’s talents prove essential when the team are fog-bound on Christmas Eve.

Best read in the same tune as “Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer”, this is one we purchased as we loved this combinations version of a Kiwi Night Before Christmas (ours is complete with the bach but it comes in all formats, including a board version for little hands). What’s even better is our kids know someone who’s a bit like Brian, very smart and not easily merged into the group of rough-and-tumble boys that populate the school ground. So while the kids didn’t enjoy my singing voice much, we did have a good time spotting the “Kiwi” bits and a discussion about how it takes all sorts to get the job done.
