Merry Christmas, Splat (Splat the Cat)
Description

It's the night before Christmas, and Splat wonders if he's been a good enough cat this year to deserve a really BIG present. Just to make sure, he offers some last-minute help to his mom and, in typical Splat fashion, he messes up completely! That night Splat stays awake hoping to see Santa Claus. But when Splat misses him, he's sure his Christmas is ruined--along with his hopes for a really big present. . . .

Publishers Weekly

The high-strung but well-meaning Splat, from "Splat the Cat" and "Love, Splat", returns with a special request for Santa Claus. But when his younger sister expresses doubt that he's been good enough, he overcompensates: he washes the dishes (they weren't even dirty), adds extra decorations to the tree and, to be safe, waits up for Santa to assure him of his good behavior. Splat's frazzled black fur and bulging eyeballs contrasting with a cool palette of greens and grays seem to lift off the page, affirming his larger-than-life appeal. Ages 3-7. (Oct.)
