Kids special: Win a copy of hit children's book Farmer Christmas

Farmer Christmas is the hit children's picture book series following the adventures of Farmer Christmas as he delivers all the presents on Christmas Eve. The books, written by farmers daughter Catherine and illustrated by Devon based artist Sophie, use rhyming text and hand-painted images to bring the magic of a country Christmas to life for all ages.

"A merry Christmas and peace to all, from the festive farmyard big and small…"

Here is a special Q&A with Farmer Christmas himself.

Favourite farm animal: I simply could not choose. I love all of my farm animals - they even helped to pull my trailer full of presents once, when the tractor broke down on Christmas Eve. Everyone in the farmyard helps me get ready for Christmas Eve, from Horace the horse to Coraline the cow, Pip the pig, Sammy the sheep, and, of course, all of our chickens and ducks.

Favourite thing to eat for Christmas dinner: I love absolutely everything at Christmas dinner because Mrs Christmas is a magical cook! But I do especially love Brussels sprouts (yes, really!) and a big sticky Christmas pudding with lots of clotted cream. Yum yum!

Favourite tractor colour: Well, as you know, I drive a red tractor when I am delivering all the presents on Christmas Eve, but I do also have green, blue and yellow tractors that I use on my farm.

Favourite thing about Christmas: Delivering all the presents with my tractor and trailer on Christmas Eve, of course! I really love visiting all the different countries on my travels and making sure every stocking is full to the brim, before coming back to my little farm and having a hot chocolate (with cream and marshmallows) with Mrs Christmas and Rusty Robin.

Favourite thing about winter on the farm: Snow! I love it when it snows on the farm in winter, it makes all the fields sparkle like someone has covered them in glitter.
