Reach for this book when your child is becoming overly fixated on the material aspects of a celebration, such as a long list of birthday presents, at the expense of social connection. It addresses the natural preschool impulsivity toward wanting more while gently steering the focus back to the joy of being with others. The story follows a little monster whose anticipation for his fifth birthday is clouded by greed until a bad dream serves as a catalyst for a change of heart. For children aged 2 to 6, this serves as a developmentally appropriate tool to discuss how our attitudes affect our relationships. It is a helpful choice for parents who want to normalize the excitement of receiving gifts while modeling the deeper satisfaction found in love and friendship.
