Then, one bat-black October night, the teeny tiny ghost is floating in his teeny tiny home when he hears a RAP TAP TAP on the door.

This lift-the-flap book is the perfect way to introduce toddlers to one of the most magical holidays of the year. Santa’s coming, of course! And he’s flying in on a sled led by reindeer. Careening over rooftops, he lands on one lucky little girl’s roof. But not before this little girl gets a chance to prepare—she listens to carols, bakes cookies, trims the tree, readies Santa’s treat, and even tries against her will to get some sleep. All of this yuletide action is hidden under darling Christmas present flaps, until the end, where a beautifully decorated Christmas tree is waiting to reveal Santa.
