Have you ever met a cat who thinks she's the queen of the house? Kimberly is exactly that—a spoiled feline who loves nothing more than being the center of attention. But when Christmas approaches and she spots a stray Chihuahua shivering behind the Taylor's house, Kimberly's world gets turned upside down.
Kimberly has built the biggest wishlist ever, dreaming of all the presents she'll unwrap. But her self-absorbed world gets interrupted when she discovers Peanut the Chihuahua, hungry and cold, lingering behind her home. The poor pup looks like he might literally freeze into a popsicle! Now Kimberly faces a tough choice: help the stray dog who might steal Signey's heart, or stay focused on her own Christmas wishes.
This isn't just another animal story. As Kimberly navigates her rescue mission, she also deals with baby Stuart learning to walk (and grab everything in sight!), Fred the fish coveting her cardboard bed, and most importantly, learning about a baby Jesus who gave up everything to save others. The story weaves traditional values into an entertaining adventure that kids will love while teaching important lessons about love and sacrifice.
