The Cloch

The Cloch has had quite enough of snow. In Glensnow, every fresh flake brings another photograph, another celebration, and another reason for him to grumble. So he does something about it: he steals the snow. Unfortunately, a Christmas without snow turns out to involve rather more rain, mud, and disappointment than he had planned. With a watchful wren nearby and a captured sunrise glowing in his lantern, The Cloch begins to wonder whether getting exactly what you want is always a good thing. The Cloch and the Great Winter Heist is an illustrated Irish Christmas ballad by Chris Elstner, told in rhyming verse with dry humour and a fondness for the unexpected. Across four parts, a stubborn snow thief discovers the consequences of his grand solution—and the possibility of changing his mind. For children aged 7–12 and families who enjoy reading aloud together. Look closely: there is also a secret word to discover in the illustrations. This English-language EPUB edition features resizable text and colour illustrations.
