Why kids ask for it again

Could YOU open just one door a day?

Pemba, a little red panda, made it to day three. That night, he tiptoed back.

"Just one more." "Just one more." "Just one more."

By morning, every door was open, twenty-four picture cards were under the sofa, and Pemba insisted he did NOT open them. (A tuft of red fur poking out of door nine said otherwise.)

A giggly Christmas read-aloud about patience, honesty, and how hard it can be to give up a favorite keeper.

Perfect for: counting down with an Advent calendar · little ones who find waiting and telling the truth SO hard · a stocking stuffer or holiday gift.

Pemba

A little red panda. Loves keepers, sweets, sleeping in. Superpower: he notices the little things. "That's a keeper!"

Zuzu

Pemba's best friend, a tortoise who is always in a hurry. "Quick, quick, quick!"
