A charming best-selling picture book by author and illustrator Allan Plenderleith. Thrown out into the snow on Christmas day, the smelly sprout comes up against a terribly rude Christmas tree, an awfully impolite snowman and, worst of all...a greedy fox. But will a chance encounter with someone as small as the sprout change everything? "The Smelly Sprout" is a Christmas classic. With deliciously witty illustrations and a story to touch the heart, this is a tale children and their parents will love. And one thing's for sure, love them or loathe them, you'll never look at a sprout in the same way again! "For an offbeat seasonal story, beautifully drawn and full of sly humour, The Smelly Sprout by Allan Plenderleith is warmly recommended. It is a charming picture book about a neurotic, self-centred sprout that simply cannot understand why nobody likes it." --Telegraph (Weekend) - Max Davidson
