See Santa Nap

Reach for this book when your household is buzzing with high-energy excitement and your child is struggling to find their 'off' switch. It is particularly effective after holiday mornings, birthday parties, or any big event where the adrenaline is high but the need for rest is even higher. Through a humorous and relatable lens, the story follows a weary Santa who just wants to sleep but is repeatedly interrupted by the enthusiastic noise of Otto the robot and his friends playing with their new gifts. While the setting is festive, the core emotional themes of frustration and the quest for peace are universal. It helps children recognize that even 'good' fun can be overwhelming for others. For ages 4 to 6, this early reader uses simple, repetitive text to build reading confidence while modeling the importance of empathy and respect for others' personal space and need for downtime.
