“Love the lift-the-flap features in this book where Santa works to find the perfect present! I liked that some of the presents weren't all typical ones, there were some that were unique and pretty fun! This might be an especially good book for cat lovers. :)”

5.0

“Great for the littlest readers, who will love to guess what is in each package. As a mom, I'm not sure that a cat was the best option out of all those presents, but it's a really fun read!”
