The fourth edition in our children’s Christmas book series, has proved to be popular once again with Kev the Kiwi and his friends Pete the Pukeko, Tina the Tuatara and Kate the Kea off on another exciting adventure in “The Story of Jack Frost’s First Christmas Gift”.

Written and illustrated by Imagic, children are also able to see their new friends come alive with each character lovingly recreated by the Ballantynes model maker. Come and see them when visiting Santa at Northland’s shopping centre.

Illustrations have been created by Ben Johnstone one of our favorite on-call illustrators (and past imagic-employee). Here you can see the illustration process from draft outline concepts for client approval to final coloured art.

The illustrated characters are fun, delightful kiwi-focussed icons that give New Zealand children ownership of the Xmas story. New characters have been introduced with each edition and this year Sammy the lamb features along with a rather chilly Jack Frost.

Books are printed on 300gsm satin art stock by Spectrum Print. Previous editions are titled: Santa’s Kiwi Christmas Adventure, Santa’s Kiwi Christmas Adventure MKII, and, Santa and the Christmas Tree Mystery.
