A notable moment for me in The Phoenix and The Carpet was when the children decided to do something good during the holiday times. During one of the classes, we talked about negative and positive views on the children in the book. I always had a positive view of them and the "Doing Good" chapter really made me love them. I feel like this moment in the book that could change the views of the children for a lot of people. Many people argued that they did it for selfish reasons, but I think highly of the children for thinking of others during the holidays.
"You know there's something about Christmas that make you want to be good- however little you wish it at other times. Couldn't we wish the carpet to take us somewhere where we should have the chance to do some good and kind action (pg 138)?"
