Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Big Bird announces throughout the text that he can't wait until Christmas. And yet, by the end of the book, it's proved that he can wait until Christmas. How does Big Bird cope with this proof that a central tenet of his belief system is incorrect?
2. According to this book, what is the purpose of Christmas? Is it all about the eternal battle between patience and impatience, or is there a deeper meaning to the holiday?
3. Granny Bird lives in a charming, well-furnished house, with a dining room and a kitchen. Big Bird lives in a trash-filled, snow-covered alley behind an apartment building. How is this even remotely acceptable?
