About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's persistence or noise-making is starting to wear on your nerves, or when you want to celebrate the idea that everyone has a unique purpose. In this cozy winter tale, McDuff the dog keeps barking and bothering his owners, Fred and Lucy, on a snowy Christmas Eve. While they initially find his behavior annoying, they soon discover that McDuff is trying to alert them to something important: Santa is stuck in the snow. It is a sweet, beautifully illustrated story that teaches children about the value of intuition and persistence. It serves as a gentle reminder to parents that a child's most 'difficult' traits can sometimes be their greatest strengths. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who love dogs and holiday magic.
