This post was originally published on Picture Book Den, a blog about picture books by picture book authors and illustrators.
Following on from previous Christmas Quizzes in 2015 and 2016, here's another set of picture book puzzles for you to solve. This year I've taken my inspiration from the "Missing Vowels" round of BBC quiz show Only Connect. For those unfamiliar with the show, I've taken the titles of ten classic picture books, removed all of the vowels and punctuation marks and changed the spaces between the words. For example, THE GRUFFALO might be changed into THG RF FL.
How many ‘disemvowelled’ book titles can you recognise? Click on each image to reveal the answer. To make things more Christmassy – there's a festive theme to the even-numbered titles.

How did you do?
| 10 | O for outstanding: Your knowledge of picture book titles is exemplary! |
| 7–9 | A for advanced: A good effort. You know your Child from your Chichester Clark. |
| 4–6 | I for intermediate: Not bad, but perhaps you should add a few picture book classics to your Christmas list. |
| 1–3 | U for ungraded: A disappointingly Gruffa-low score. You need to brush up on your picture book knowledge. |
My sparkling seasonal story Diamond in the Snow, illustrated by Vanessa Cabban, has just been re-published in a new edition from Walker Books.
