This post was originally published on Picture Book Den, a blog about picture books by picture book authors and illustrators.
When I was a child, part of the excitement of the run-up to Christmas was shaking, squeezing and even sniffing the gift-wrapped presents beneath our Christmas tree in an attempt to deduce what was inside. For this year's Christmas quiz, I've gift-wrapped 10 picture book characters. Since shaking, squeezing and sniffing 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. |
My delightfully dark Christmas picture book The Santa Trap, illustrated by Poly Bernatene, is available in a UK paperback print-on-demand edition from Hatchling Books and a US Hardback edition from Peachtree Publishers.
