Celebrate Christmas with Spot in this festive lift-the-flap board book! Spot is so excited to have the best Christmas ever with his friends! All the presents are wrapped up and put under the Christmas tree, but what did everyone get? Readers will love guessing what each present might be with the interactive flaps that will help train their fine motor skills.

This bestselling Christmas story has now been brilliantly adapted for audio CD and there are two readings - the first is a straight reading with music, and the second has a 'special sound' to indicate where to turn each page as you read along in the book. On Christmas Eve Spot meets two reindeer who are looking for Santa's missing sleigh. If they don't find it, there won't be any presents for anyone on Christmas day. Spot manages to track it down and has a wonderful snowy adventure along the way.

Outstanding features include: * A jolly puzzle book stuffed full of Christmas things to find and count. * Busy scenes, including Christmas Land, a snowball fight and Santa's workshop, burst with things for children to find, count and talk about. * Helps develop vital word and number skills.

From the creators of the New York Times bestseller Snowmen at Night comes a lively story about discovering the joy and meaning of Christmas When Mr. Mouse and his family move into the warm spot beneath the kitchen stove in a big house, they discover something new and wonderful: an evergreen tree decorated with lights, ginger and peppermint smells in the air, and cookies baking in the oven. They hear about a child born long ago, and a jolly man named Santa who brings gifts to celebrate Jesus’s birth on a day called Christmas. And so Mr. and Mrs. Mouse decide that their family should celebrate Christmas too. With delightful rhyming verse, detailed illustrations (with hidden pictures to search for!), and a childlike sense of wonder, the story of the Mouse family’s first Christmas is sure to become a holiday tradition.

It's Christmas Eve, and Santa's sleigh is missing! But Spot's sure he can find it, with a little help from his friends. Before the night is through, Spot is treated to a magical sleigh ride through the sky, a tour of Santa's workshop, and an extra-special present from Santa's reindeer. This is one Christmas Spot will never forget! Eric Hill's bold artwork and engaging holiday story are sure to delight Spot's many fans.
