The Smallest Gift of Christmas by Peter H. Reynolds

Roland wants a huge present for Christmas so he is very disappointed to find a small gift waiting for him (the gift tag is larger than the box!!).  In his disappointment and anger he wishes for a bigger present and bigger and bigger . . ..until he is in space, far away from his family.  Then he realizes what the biggest and best gift is . . .
My almost five year old did not get the message/theme of this book.  He wanted to know what was in the small gift which was never revealed.
Strategy: inferring
