Synopsis

It's the night before Christmas, and Charlie Chimp is much too excited to sleep. When he hears strange noises in the house, he begins to imagine that some of his friends might be arriving to help him celebrate. Could it be one of Santa's escaped reindeer? Or the snowman in the yard? Or has the Christmas tree itself come alive? Finally, Charlie falls asleep, and young readers discover the cause of the noise. It's Santa! Die-cut pages with gatefold flaps to lift and pop-up figures help make this colorful book a child's Christmas delight. (Ages 2-6)

About this title

From the Back Cover:

It?s the night before Christmas and Charlie Chimp is far too excited to sleep! As he keeps himself busy getting ready for the big day, he begins to hear strange noises — who could be coming to visit him on Christmas Eve?

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K-Charlie hears a series of noises and his imagination leads him to some far-fetched assumptions about every thud, scratch, scrape, and bang. Has the Christmas tree come to life? Is there an escaped reindeer in the house? A robot toy waving his ray gun? Preschoolers may not share the chimp's evident worry as the imagined monsters pop up, hugely, on each page, for they are completely benign. In fact, young participants in this made-for-sharing pop-up should enjoy the humor and suspense of the extremely simple story-at least the first time around. The bright and cheerful art makes this an appealing package.-S. P.
