About This Book
Reach for this book when the holiday excitement in your house has reached a fever pitch and your child is struggling with the urge to peek at hidden surprises. It is a perfect choice for those long days leading up to Christmas when patience is running thin and curiosity is at an all-time high. The story follows Julie, a young girl determined to find her Christmas presents early. Her search leads her to the top of the refrigerator, where she finds her gifts and decides to open them, only to realize she has nowhere to hide the evidence. In true Robert Munsch fashion, the situation spirals into a hilarious, absurd mess involving the whole family. While the tone is silly, it validates the intense anticipation children feel while gently modeling the chaos that comes from acting on impulsive curiosity. It is a lighthearted way to discuss honesty and the value of waiting for the right moment.
