Reach for this book when your child is noticing the strange, bright, and sometimes over-the-top shifts in their environment as the holidays approach. It is an ideal choice for validating a child's natural confusion or overwhelm during a season that adults often describe as magical but can look quite bizarre to a newcomer. Through the eyes of a bewildered puppy, the story navigates the transition from the simple beauty of nature to the chaotic spectacle of human holiday traditions. This hilariously illustrated story highlights themes of curiosity and sensory processing, making it perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students. It helps normalize the feeling that some traditions are, quite frankly, weird. By laughing at the inflatable lawn ornaments and tangled lights, parents can help children find their footing in the seasonal rush while emphasizing that the best parts of winter are often the simplest ones, like playing in the snow or being with family.
