Jims Spectacular Christmas
Author: Emma Thompson
Illustrator: Axel Scheffler
Publisher: Puffin
This story follows Jim, a grubby yet loveable dog who happens to live at the Victoria and Albert museum, with Sir Henry Cole, creator of the first commercial Christmas card and original V&A director. Follow Jim as he hangs out with Queen Victoria and overseas the builders of his owners beloved museum. This book has Scheffler’s classic illustration style, recognisable in any household with children, and Thompson’s charming, humorous prose. We at Pocketbook Parenting are lovers of both the V&A and dogs, so we will definitely be putting this book under the tree this year.
“So it was that Jim began his life as a museum dog.”
