Easter bunnies are among the stars of new Christmas books from children's publisher Scholastic.

The Dumb Bunnies are the creation of Captain Underpants writer Dav Pilkey hundred routers.

The picture book tells of a family of rabbits who live in a log cabin made of bricks.

Little Red Goldilocks sits in their porridge and eats their beds in this topsy-turvey world.

It's no wonder that Christmas is a concept that involves eggnog, Valentines, and an upside down tree.

Hilariously silly visual humour is promised from the brainless bunnies.

Another light-hearted book, for younger pre-schoolers, is the "udderly brilliant" novelty book Moo-Cow Kung-Fu-Cow.

Nick Sharratt has created wacky, brightly-coloured cows in pop-up, pop-out and sliding pages.

Stick Man comes from the creators of The Gruffalo, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

In this rhyming book he lives in the family tree with his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three.

But Stick Man gets snatched by a dog, gets used for a game of Pooh-sticks and becomes part of the Swan's nest.

He has many other adventures, including becoming a snowman's arm, before Santa Claus returns him home.

Tabby McTat comes from the same duo and is an urban fairytale about a busker's singing cat.

His long-time companion is taken to hospital and Tabby thinks he has been abandoned on the streets.

Tabby finds a new home and family -- with a female cat -- while the busker returns and misses Tabby.

But all ends well when one of Tabby's new kittens takes up his father's old job singing in the street.

Jeanette Winterson's latest book The Lion, the Unicorn and Me tells the Christmas story through the eyes of the donkey.

He is picked above all the other creatures of the animal kingdom to carry Mary to Bethlehem.

As his journey unfolds he is touched by the magic and one mystery of the Nativity.

The book is said to put to the heart of what is most moving about the very first Christmas, reminding readers of the power and beauty of the ancient story.
