On Christmas Eve, a bored little boy discovers a tiny, red creature hiding in his mince pie, it flies around the room, hiding in anything to do with Christmas and causing mayhem. It is a simple, magical tale about hide and seek with an underlying message, that we need to get to know someone before we can understand them. The story leaves plenty of room for the imagination, encouraging a child to think about where the little creature could have come from, why it is running away and what it looks like. The narrative voice also plays with vocabulary, to show that words can be fun too.
