Reach for this book when the holiday season has your child's 'wants' outweighing their 'thank-yous.' It is an ideal tool for parents managing a toddler or preschooler who is fixated on their Christmas list or struggling with the delayed gratification of waiting for gifts. While many holiday stories focus on the magic of giving, this book takes a humorously honest look at the messy side of greed and impatience. The story follows Pig, a pug who is so determined to get exactly what he wants that he stays up past his bedtime and even loses his temper with Santa Claus. Through zany illustrations and a slapstick ending, the book opens a low-pressure door for families to discuss manners and the consequences of being demanding. It is a lighthearted way to address the 'gimme-gimmes' without a heavy-handed lecture.
