Now in a stocking-stuffer edition with a hangable picture-frame ornament inside!

Roland can't wait for Christmas Day, and when the morning finally 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 had waited all year for? It has to 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.

Industry Reviews

A warmhearted, whimsical story with a folkloric feel and a theme that is anything but small.
--Kirkus Reviews

A boy with grand holiday expectations discovers that size is relative when it comes to gifts. ... Roland's red polka-dot pajamas are among the splashes of holiday color in the spirited vignettes that playfully accent ample white space and Reynolds's brief, hand-lettered text.
--Publishers Weekly

This story of "good things come in small packages" and the value of family is a welcome offering.
--School Library Journal

Reynolds' spare illustrations, which are by turns funny and heartwarming, make this small book an ideal big gift for the holidays.
--Booklist Online
