The Bolds are back with a bumper book of jolly japes, and this time the mischief comes wrapped up in a full-colour puzzle format rather than a traditional story. Across 192 pages, readers join Mr and Mrs Bold and their hyena family for a hearty helping of rib-tickling jokes alongside a huge variety of brain-teasing activities, all set against a cheerful Christmas backdrop. Wordsearches hide festive vocabulary among the pages, crosswords test young vocabularies, mazes challenge problem-solving skills, and spot-the-difference puzzles sharpen observation, all illustrated with David Roberts' distinctive, bright artwork that has become a hallmark of the series. Because the book blends Julian Clary's trademark warmth and wit with genuinely varied puzzle content, it suits both dedicated Bolds fans revisiting familiar characters and newcomers who simply enjoy a good activity book at Christmastime. It works equally well as a quiet solo activity or a shared family pastime during long car journeys, cosy evenings by the fire, or lazy days between Christmas and New Year. The paperback format is light and easy for children to carry and handle, making it a practical, durable addition to any festive gift pile or existing Bolds collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines wordsearches, crosswords, mazes, riddles and spot-the-differences in one festive activity book.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, characterful illustrations from award-winning illustrator David Roberts throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages reading, concentration and problem-solving in a fun, low-pressure way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, ideal for travel, stockings and quiet holiday afternoons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA natural companion to the wider Bolds series for existing fans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJulian Clary is a much-loved British comedian, entertainer and author who has toured extensively with his stand-up shows and appeared on numerous popular television programmes.
