Favorite Christmas book?

[Deleted]

We love "Minerva Louise on Christmas Eve." She's a silly chicken who gets confused (like the reindeer are goats with fancy horns, and the sleigh is a truck who's wheels have fallen off). DS is 2.5 and thinks her "mistakes" are HILARIOUS. He'll say "nooo! Ha ha ha."

I'm planning on getting one/some Christmas books at pugz usborne party Monday.

I'd do:
1.5 year old - Duck & Goose It's Time For Christmas.
2 year old - Bear Stays Up for Christmas
5.5 year old - Christmas Wombat

Oh we totally have Bear a Stays Up for Christmas! C read sit like a thousand times a day and whenever I say bear she points to her hair.

Llama Llama has a Christmas book out this year and so does Little Blue Truck.

I love Morris's Disappearing Bag. Particularly great for a kid with older siblings.

I recommend How Santa Got His Job for the older one.

Eta: or for the 2 year old if he likes listening to books!

Thanks - buying this for my nephew who celebrates both!

I like Llama Llama Holiday Drama. Little llama gets overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and I can identify with that feeling.

The Jolly Christmas postman is one of my favorites.

I got a pop up of The Nutcracker for DD.
Spot's first Christmas.

hermione, pugz and others, what about a non-religious specifically santa book? I'm thinking reading a book about who he is and what he does will help familiarize DD so that when we go meet him, she'll be excited rather than terrified

[smock]

I loved this book when I was a kid (though probably a little older than that set):



It's very British.

Not 'Twas the Night Before Christmas?

I think Elf the movie is now a picture book.

N got this for his birthday.  I don't like the story as much as the other books (spoiler: it's him driving around christmas trees), but it lights up at the end, which is pretty cool.

I was reading the Amazon review for this and someone was offended that it breezed over the reason for the holiday season and only focused on the hustle and bustle. I rolled my eyes a lot, lol.

Sounds perfect!
