Reviews
I liked it, but as I am 10 years old I didn’t really like how many words there were on a page and wished it was more detailed. I loved the concept of it and would recommend to those who are beginning to read, like cats and believe in magic! Overall a wonderful book.

The owner of Squishy McFluff met Santa but they had to keep it a secret. Afterwards, they wrapped all the furniture instead of the presents as they were told to do by her parents.

This book rhymes a bit like rhyming poem. It was about a girl called Ava and she has an invisible cat called Squishy MsFluff. She sets a plan to wake up at 3am in the morning to see Santa in her house. Ava wrote to Santa asking that just once she wanted someone else to see her imaginary invisible cat, Squish. When Santa arrived in her front room, he could see Squish and left Squish a gift of an invisible fish.

One of my favourites of the series as I love Christmas.

I loved this book because no-one has ever seen Santa before and Ava and Squishy McFluff both saw him! Santa made Ava's wish come true which was that someone else could see Squishy McFluff, who is invisible - it was Santa that saw him.

I like this book because Squishy Mcfluff is an invisible cat, but Santa can see invisible cats. Santa made a lot of noise and woke up Ava. Ava said that she has a cat, and Santa said 'I can see it'. Ava was surprised because the cat is invisible.
