Description
Count down to Christmas with the Cat Family in this lift-the-flap advent book with more than 130 doors to open, as you help them decorate, bake and prepare the house for the holiday season.
Count down the twelve days til Christmas in this delightful advent book. With a nod to nostalgic Victorian advent calendars, open up tiny but sturdy flap 'doors' on each one of the 24 pages to reveal little details and surprises. Peer inside the cupboard doors and different-sized tins in the busy Cat Family kitchen to find the missing ingredients for the cake. Open all the front doors on the street when the Cat Family go carol singing.
This is a whimsical Christmas book that gives the Victorian advent calendar tradition a contemporary twist for advent calendar door-hungry hands. Every page is rich with Liberty print-style pick-and-mix patterns and William Morris-inspired friezes.
The Cat Family are full of character and personality, and the picture painted of the holiday season in this charming picture book will fill you and your family with Christmas cheer!
