You may be looking for IDW's 2010 Doctor Who Annual.

Doctor Who The Official Annual 2010 was, as opposed to the BBC-licensed Doctor Who Storybook 2010, the BBC-published annual publication supporting Doctor Who. Like most British annuals, it was actually published in the late summer of the year prior to the cover year. This is why it featured the Tenth and not the Eleventh Doctor. It was the final BBC annual to feature Tennant's Doctor — something which was a significant part of the marketing of the book.
