This little tale’s not your usual fare:
It comes with a warning, so reader beware!
It is about Christmas, that much is right.
You’ll also meet things that go bump in the night!
So if you’re not sure whether monsters exist,
Carry on brave reader – but watch out for the twist …
The Thing I Say I Saw Last Night beautifully captures the magic and innocence
of Christmas through the eyes of two unforgettable characters. The story begins
with a boy waking up his younger sister to tell her about an incredible event that
took place the night before. When he tells her he heard a strange noise, she
imagines the worst – a hairy, purple, scary-looking monster. However, as the story
progresses, more details emerge and the character she envisions goes through a
series of changes until the final surprise ending. This is a humorous, rhyming
Christmas story that appeals to both boys and girls, and to adults who remember the wonder of Christmas.
