Gift-Wrapped Picture Book Characters Quiz
This quiz was originally published on Picture Book Den in 2018.
When I was a child, part of the excitement of the run-up to Christmas was shaking and squeezing the gift-wrapped presents beneath our Christmas tree in an attempt to deduce what was inside. For this festive quiz, I’ve gift-wrapped 10 classic picture book characters. Since shaking and squeezing are not options, you’ll have to work out who they are from their outlines alone. How many can you identify?

How did you do?
| 10 | All present and correct: Your picture book character recognition skills are exemplary! |
| 7–9 | Gifted: You know your Seuss from your Scheffler. |
| 4–6 | Some contents missing: Not bad, but perhaps you should add a few picture book classics to your Christmas list. |
| 1–3 | A bad wrap: You need to brush up on your picture book knowledge. |
For more Christmas fun, may I suggest CHRISTMAS STREET, my lift-the-flap concertina alphabet book illustrated by Ingela P Arrhenius.
Or, for a “darkly delightful” Christmas picture book, check out THE SANTA TRAP by me and Poly Bernatene.
