Christmas Royal Tails – A Tale of Humbug and Hope
by Susana Mogensen
A heartwarming children’s Christmas dog book about kindness, second chances, and the magic of caring.
Edmund used to love animals. But ever since Sir Cedric, his noble golden retriever, passed away, he has shut his heart to pets — and to kindness itself. When asked to help save the local dog shelter, he grumbles “Humbug!” and turns away.
On Christmas Eve, however, Edmund is visited by three ghostly royal dogs: King Basset the First (from the Past), Lord Pug the Second (from the Present), and a mysterious dachshund known as Emperor Noodle the Third (from the Future). Together, they guide him through memories, mischief, and a glimpse of what could be… if he dares to open his heart.
A tail-wagging, heart-melting holiday tale inspired by A Christmas Carol — but with paws, crowns, and second chances.
Perfect for families and classrooms, Christmas Royal Tails celebrates empathy, compassion, and the quiet magic of hope. With its traditional watercolor illustrations in a warm, vintage style, this story becomes a comforting Christmas read for children and dog lovers alike.
