About this listen

Join one small pup on a BIG Christmas adventure!

Father Christmas has a problem. He’s back from his journey around the world on Christmas Eve but he’s forgotten to deliver one of the presents! The reindeers are too exhausted for another journey, so there’s only one option. Father Christmas’s loyal – but very junior – dog, Kado, will have to step up to pull the sleigh, and make sure no child wakes up without their present on Christmas morning.

Through continents and past polar bears, into oceans and over African plains, Kado and Father Christmas take a magical journey to deliver the forgotten present. But the BIGGEST surprise of all is what’s inside the wrapping…

A magical, heartwarming and unforgettable story, destined to be a modern Christmas classic.
