The Smallest Gift Of Christmas by Peter H Reynolds
This story is about a little boy named Roland who just wants a bigger gift for Christmas.
Smilie Baby who is 5 liked this page best, when he first found his holiday gift, a very little one.
He doesn’t really understand the meaning of the holiday and focuses just on the size of the gift.
This page made Storm Baby who is now 8 smile at the idea of a gift as big as her! She couldn’t believe he still wasn’t happy with it!
Roland had a tantrum to say the least and wanted and even bigger gift. Before we knew it he was on an adventure in space trying to find a huge gift for himself and in the end home was very tiny, and that tiny thing was just what he wanted. Family is better than even huge gifts!
Mr. Handsome says this is his favorite page, it came as a bit of a shock but he could see how that could happen he says. He promised he has no plans on having a tantrum over gift sizes. He hasn’t ever done it before so I don’t expect he will in the future. He is such a sweet kid!
This book is darling and a great bed time story or circle time story for my teacher and homeschool friends looking for new books. You can find it in most book stores and certainly on Amazon!
