About This Book

Parents can reach for this book when their child has their heart set on a very specific, and perhaps impossible, Christmas gift. It's a gentle way to explore big holiday hopes without promising that every wish will come true exactly as planned. The story follows Harry and his beloved toy dinosaurs who, after a visit to a farm, decide the only thing they want for Christmas is a real duckling. They wish and wish, sending their request to Santa. This book beautifully handles themes of hope, imaginative play, and finding joy in unexpected surprises. For ages 3 to 6, it’s a sweet, reassuring holiday story that subtly manages expectations while keeping the magic of the season alive.

What Parents Should Know

Sad ThemesMild

A brief moment of potential disappointment when the wished-for duckling is not immediately apparent.

Sensitive Topics

The book gently touches on the theme of disappointment when a wish isn't granted exactly as requested. The approach is secular (Santa is the magical figure) and the resolution is extremely hopeful, reframing the outcome as something even better and more appropriate than the original wish.
