My little boy got this as a present last Christmas, but at 10 months old he didn't understand, however, in the last couple of months it's become one of his favourite books and is teaching him about christmas time (I know it's not all about the presents). I can see how, when it comes to putting our tree up and wrapping presents this book will help him get more excited and understand that it's Christmas.

Spot is helping Sally set up for Christmas Day. Helping her move the Christmas tree, decorate it, wrap presents, open the door to carol singers and finally get his presents and open them (set over 11 separate illustrations).

It's a very simple book, like all of the spot books, the pictures are clear and there isn't too much on one page to detract from what the page is about (if that makes sense!) - my only complaint is Sally looks very much like Spot and my son gets a bit confused. The story is short but the excitement is in opening the flaps and finding spot, generally doing he something he shouldn't be and finally getting to see what Father Christmas has brought him.
