Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

From bestselling author Rob Scotton

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story, great illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2009

This was the best Christmas book I bought for my 2 year old this year. The illustrations are very good, the quality of the book (pages, binding, etc) is better than most children's books I have, and the story is cute and simple enough for even young children to understand.
Splat worries that he might not have been good enough this year to get the present he wants for Christmas, and decides to be extra helpful the day before Christmas to make sure. Of course, his "help" is less than helpful, despite his good intentions.
I would definitely recommend this book for any child from 1 up to 6 or 7 years old - the illustrations will captivate younger children, while the story will resonate with those old enough to worry that THEY may not have made Santa's nice list.

I purchased Merry Christmas Splat the Cat for my grandaughter who is becoming a teacher and is in elementary education. She previously got the book Splat the Cat and was so pleased I thought she would enjoy having the Christmas book. It is so cute although I thought the original book had cuter illustrations. She was very surprised when she opened the gift and told me she would have not guessed what it was. The service I received was outstanding and the book was received very quickly. Thanks for your attention to every detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Merry Christmas Splat
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2023

It’s right before Christmas and Splat is worried that he hasn’t been good enough this year. He sets out to be extra good in preparation of Santa’s arrival by helping out around the house. He then decides to wait up for Santa, but he misses the big guy’s visit. On Christmas morning, he’s thinks that Santa didn’t bring any gifts, before his family pops out with gifts to surprise him.

I think this a cute addition to the Splat the Cat collection. My daughter likes it, though not as much as some of the other Splat stories. I’d recommend this book if your kids like Splat the Cat, or if you’re looking to add some more Christmas books to your collection.

Great story as per usual with Solat the Cat books! Our toddler loves this story. Splat does good deeds and is a good little cat so that Santa will bring him a present for Christmas.

Splat the Cat is one of my favorite characters for Primary readers. The stories are hilarious and the artwork top notch. Children adore Splat and love to find the spider hiding on most of the pages. You will not be disappointed with this or any Splat book. My son had all of these books and I buy every one available for my school collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pour Noël avec des CM en langue vivante
Reviewed in France on December 27, 2015
Verified Purchase
Je n'ai pas vraiment fait d'exploitation de ce livre en anglais mais j'ai en ai réalisé une lecture offerte à mes élèves de CM.

Ils ont beaucoup apprécié l'histoire de ce chat, Splat, qui enchaîne les bonnes actions de peur de ne pas avoir été assez sage pour recevoir des cadeaux du Père Noël, et qui l'attend avec impatience.

Les illustrations sont superbes et explicites, le texte est assez humoristique. Le tout permet d'aborder Noël en anglais avec des CM sans avoir un livre trop enfantin.

Par contre, la syntaxe et le vocabulaire sont assez complexes. Personnellement j'ai parfois un peu simplifié les phrases et me suis appuyée sur les images. C'est un excellent bain de langue pour les enfants.

Purchased this book for my 4yr old Grand Daughter for Christmas. She has the Scardey-Cat Splat Halloween book & has to read it over & over all the time. This will be the perfect gift for her this Christmas, as we are travelling abroad with her and can read it on the airplane.

I used to read Splat at my library storytime sessions and he became one of the favourites with mum's and children. He is a super character that children can relate to. The illustrations are sublime. I never get bored reading his stories over and over. Lovely Splat.
