The Smallest Gift of Christmas - Hardcover
In Peter H. Reynolds's whimsical holiday story, young Roland learns that more isn't always better - and rediscovers the magic of home. Roland can't wait for Christmas Day, and when the big morning arrives he races downstairs to see what is waiting for him. What he sees stops him in his tracks. Could that tiny present really be what he has waited all year for? It must be the smallest gift he has ever seen! So Roland wishes for something bigger ... and bigger ... and bigger. But he's still convinced there must be a bigger gift somewhere in the universe. Will he know it when he sees it? Peter H. Reynolds's spare, free-spirited illustrations and heartwarming text make this be-careful-what-you-wish-for story the perfect holiday gift.

From School Library Journal:
PreS-Gr 2-On Christmas Day, an indignant Roland is less than impressed with the size of his Christmas gift and wishes for something bigger. And while wishing sort of works, much to Roland's frustration, the gifts are never big enough. A journey for a truly huge present takes him on an adventure through town and into a rocket blasting off to space. Orbiting Earth, Roland realizes that the best gift, the perfectly sized gift, is back home. The use of bold red and green against a background of otherwise subdued colors makes a scowling Roland in polka-dot pajamas and his increasingly larger gifts pop off the page. This story of "good things come in small packages" and the value of family is a welcome offering.-Brooke Sheets, Los Angeles Public Library α(c) Copyright 2013.
