Picture this: Foodland is rocking around the Christmas tree, and every character you can think of is there. We've got Mr Pizza, Mrs Carrot with the triplets, Mayor Cauliflower and many more. Even Chief Elf Delain is making a special guest appearance all the way from the North Pole!

But wait, who's that rolling in with a frown? It's Turnip - sour, lonely, and ready to stir the pot. He thinks he's going to teach Foodland a lesson, but little does he know, he's the one in for a big, Christmassy surprise!

*** Turnip, once bitter, no friends in sight,

On a cold Christmas Eve, in the twinkling night.

To Foodland, he went, his ways to unveil,

Not knowing the past that cast a magical spell.

"Jingle bells, I hear them ring,

But to me, it's just the same old thing.

'Be kind, be nice, ' that's what they sing,

But I'd rather play and be the mischief king!"

Meeting his foe, he learned to be kind,
In a happy land, a tale of joy, you'll find!

Ho-Ho-Ho!

Bells rang out, a sign so fine,

Santa's here to spread joy right on time. ***

The Wicked Turnip in Christmas Foodland: the rhyming Christmas story is aimed at children aged 3-9 years. It is written in festive fonts with the most magical illustrations! However, reading ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won't necessarily be right for another of the same age. As children grow older, they can re-read the story, discover new meanings and enjoy it as much as the first time they read it. It may be suitable for older children, depending on their enthusiasm for the theme.

This book, written by neuroscientist Dr Kassi Psifogeorgou, shows that forgiveness is a choice and it can make us feel happier if we wish to. It's a helpful lesson for people of all ages.
