This is a great story for inferring - but can be difficult if children do not celebrate Christmas. Although, there were a lot of things to talk about that children who don't celebrate Christmas might not know. We had good discussions about why the coal miner has a canary, whether or not kids should get coal for Christmas (or has anyone you know?!) The illustrations are fantastic and in the end, we were happy for the miner!
Goodreads says:
Every year the Coal Man works hard to mine enough coal for Santa's naughty list, but this year Santa tells him that he has decided that he no longer needs coal.
