A Chance Encounter With The Bedbugs

A really exciting and magical story. It's nicely written while not sounding too adult, but managing to keep away from the mildly patronizing tone that some kid's books have. It's perfect for this time of year to get the kids in the Christmassy mood and is entertaining enough so that adults won't mind reading it.
