Santa's Toy Shop

Santa's Toy Shop (Disney) (Little Golden Book) by Al Dempster, illustrated by Walt Disney Studios

Santa is very busy all year and never gets a chance to play with all the toys. Mrs. Claus gives him the idea to play with the plan to play with toys at the final house he delivers to. It ends with the hook that he may choose to play at any kids house. It is a very simple story that is drawn out a bit longer than it needs to.

The Poky Little Puppy

The Poky Little Puppy by Janette Sebring Lowrey, illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren

The puppies dig a hole under the fence and explore the wide world. One poky little puppy is behind them. At dinner time, the race back. They get in trouble for going under the fence and don't get dessert. The poky puppy shoes up at home later and eats all the dessert. This repeats a few times. Then one time, the puppies get home quickly and do get dessert and the poky puppy gets nothing. I'm not sure what message this book is trying to show. Perhaps "being slow means things will happen in a different way for you."
