4.5

“The illustrations in this book are very cute! I thought this story was fun about a little mice girl who can't resist peeking at her Christmas presents, and he learns that waiting is better. I didn't love that she got away with peeking at all of her presents, it only really caused her a little worry.”

“This is a cute book about how peeking at presents really isn't more fun after all, and I particularly enjoy the multi-generational aspect of the story of a grandma passing down her wisdom to little ones. It's not one that I could read many times in a row, however.”
