Christmastime is given a smart lift-the-flap treatment.

As Santa goes about his business on Christmas Eve, the winter animals are just as excited for the holiday as everyone else. Each double-page spread depicts a scene along Santa's journey with a flap on the right-hand page and a prompt on the left. For example, "Who's that by the sleigh?" is the first prompt, with the answer being "It's some hungry reindeer! Jingle! Jingle!" Each animal is given a distinct sound, and the final spread has a special surprise double flap for extra smiles. The flaps are sturdily attached to the book, so even the most excitable readers won't have any accidents. The book is also handsomely bound in a true hardcover fashion. The illustrations are composed with a warm color palette that will surely help little ones ease into slumber on Christmas Eve.

An excellent Christmas read for the littlest ones, built to last.
