Clifford Helps Santa

Reach for this book when your child is feeling the pre-holiday jitters or when they are struggling with the concept of patience while waiting for a big event. It is a perfect choice for teaching that being 'helpful' often means being flexible when plans change unexpectedly. The story follows Clifford as he attempts to stay awake for Santa Claus, only to realize that a snowstorm has put the holiday in jeopardy. Instead of just being a passive observer of Christmas, Clifford becomes an active participant by using his unique size to help Santa deliver gifts. This gentle narrative reinforces themes of community service and responsibility, making it an ideal bedtime read for children aged 3 to 7 who are learning how their own actions can impact others.
