2. THE CHRISTMAS TOY FACTORY Matthew Farrugia Year 5 Roses

3. INTRODUCTION Hello! Today I am going to talk about an interesting book called 'The Christmas Toy Factory’ by Elisabetta Dami.

4. CHAPTER ONE It was a teeth–chattering day of December. New Mouse City was covered in snow. One time it snowed for a whole week! Geronimo got to the Rodent’s Gazette covered in snow. As usual he wakes up at dawn and works till midnight!

5. CHAPTER TWO Geronimo was reading some old mail. He was so busy with work in the past few days that he completely forgotten about this mail. After a few letters he came across a letter from his dear sweet nephew Benjamin. It was an invitation for a play on the 24 th of December and he was very upset when he was reading it as that day was the 24 th !

6. CHAPTER THREE He ran to Benjamin’s school as fast as his paws could carry him, but it was too late because the play was already over. Benjamin was sitting alone on the stage very sad. Geronimo felt awful and he was very sorry for Benjamin. Then he took him to a huge toy store to buy him a Christmas present to make him happy but all Benjamin wanted was to go home.

7. CHAPTER FOUR The next day he was at his office and he heard a knock on his door. It was a delivery. It was a huge box that was decorated with a shiny bow and a tiny yellow banana wrapper. Hmmmm! What could be inside?

8. CONCLUSION I won’t continue spoiling the story for you because when you will read it, you wont enjoy it! It is an ideal book to read at this time of the year as it is almost Christmas!
