Reach for this book when the holiday jitters have officially arrived and your toddler is asking 'Is it Christmas yet?' every five minutes. It is a perfect tool for channeling that high-energy anticipation into a productive and calming activity. By counting down from ten to one, children learn that the preparation is just as much fun as the big day itself. Karen Katz uses her signature bright, folk-art style to follow three siblings as they bake cookies, hang stockings, and decorate the tree. While it teaches basic numeracy, the heart of the book is about the joy of family traditions and the sweet lesson of patience. It is an ideal short read for busy December mornings or as a soothing wind-down before bed, helping little ones visualize the steps leading up to the holiday.
