Review:
Splat is hoping for a really big present for Christmas. With the realization that perhaps he hasn’t been good enough to deserve a special gift, he sets about helping his Mum prepare for the celebrations. The anticipation proves unsettling, and Splat’s hope fades. What happens on Christmas morning? Scotton’s finely detailed and engaging illustrations have a depth to them that the story sadly lacks. There is room for the reader to explore their own imaginative conclusion, but the tale seems slightly empty and unfinished.
