Reach for this book when the holiday season starts to feel a bit too loud, crowded, or overwhelming for your little one. It is a perfect choice for children who, like Mog, might feel a sense of sensory overload or anxiety when their familiar home routine is disrupted by decorations, visitors, and strange new traditions. This classic story validates the feeling of wanting to hide away when things get 'too much.' The story follows Mog, the beloved and slightly forgetful family cat, as she navigates the bewildering sights and sounds of Christmas preparations. After fleeing to the safety of the snowy roof to escape a giant walking tree, Mog eventually finds her way back to the warmth of her family. It is a gentle, humorous, and deeply comforting tale that reassures children that no matter how much things change during the holidays, the love and safety of home remain constant.
