Zoe’s Christmas List by Chloe and Mick Inkpen (Macmillan, £10.99)

Zoe wants a Kylie Kurlz doll and decides to take her Christmas list to Santa in the North Pole herself. She sets off with her dog, Beans, and some snacks. As Beans swims north with Zoe on his back, they meet a baby polar bear along the way. As a blizzard brews, Zoe’s list is blown away, but it is only when her friends get into danger that Zoe realises being with loved ones at Christmas is far more precious than nice presents.
