Santa Duck and His Merry Helpers

Reach for this book when your older child is feeling frustrated by 'helpful' younger siblings who actually create more work and mess. It is an ideal choice for the holiday season when tensions and expectations often run high within the family. The story follows Nicholas Duck as he tries to maintain a professional role as Santa's helper, only to have his well-meaning siblings turn his organized gift-collecting into a chaotic disaster. Through humor and relatable animal characters, the book validates the very real frustration of sibling rivalry while gently steering the reader toward the realization that being together is more important than a perfect plan. It is a secular, joyful, and supportive read for preschoolers and early elementary students navigating family dynamics during the holidays.
