But things don’t go as planned\, and Santa doesn’t get it right at first! With the help of his playful Elf\, he finally finds the ‘perfect’ gift—just in time for Christmas Eve. \n\n\n\nRod Campbell’s Dear Santa is an ideal introduction to theater for children aged one and up\, making it a holiday experience that families will cherish and remember. \n\n\n\nPlus\, the opportunity to meet Santa himself and after the show and every child receives a gift! \n\n\n\nAbout the Author Rod Campbell \n\n\n\nRod Campbell began his career in children’s books in 1980 when he was asked to illustrate some small early learning books for the children’s publisher Blackie. From here on he discovered that he enjoyed his involvement with children’s publishing\, and not only did he have lots of ideas for books\, but he realised it was something for which he had a natural aptitude. \n\n\n\nThe early 80’s saw the emergence of so-called ‘novelty’ books for children\, and Rod Campbell’s use of interactive elements in early learning books for the young established his reputation for innovative books for the under 5’s. Many had flaps to lift or other interactive elements\, the best known of which being Dear Zoo. \n\n\n\nRod Campbell’s approach to books for babies and toddlers is instinctive\, with simplicity being paramount. He sees himself as a ‘maker’ of books rather than as an author or illustrator. He uses flaps or pop-ups in a book only when he feels they give an extra dimension to a simple story or when they will serve to enhance the ‘reality’ of certain images. \n\n\n\nFor the youngest\, he believes that a degree of physical involvement is crucial in drawing the child into books and maintaining their interest. He uses simple texts with often a repeating element\, or even rhymes\, as he regards these to be important for the pre-reader. He believes that however simple a story\, it should always end either on an upbeat note or quietly resolved to everyone’s satisfaction! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the critics say\n\n\n\n\n“Magical family treat and a joy to watch.” \n\n\n\nMumsnet \n\n\n\n\n\n“Had my 4-year-old captivated from start to finish!” \n\n\n\nTime for Tots \n\n\n\n\n\n“Very Christmassy.
