A Cookie for Santa

Reach for this book when your child is feeling those common pre-Christmas jitters or asking how Santa stays safe while everyone else is asleep. It is a perfect choice for little ones who might find the idea of a midnight visitor a bit spooky, turning that uncertainty into a story of watchful protection. The rhyming tale follows a brave gingerbread cookie who takes it upon himself to guard the house from middle-of-the-night mischief, specifically keeping a curious puppy away from the holiday decorations. By shifting the focus from 'waiting for a stranger' to 'protecting our home,' the book provides comfort and models a sweet sense of responsibility. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 8, offering a mix of humor and holiday magic that makes the night before Christmas feel cozy rather than intimidating.
