I’ve Made You A List…

I checked it twice….

These Holiday Themed Books are really Nice!

Enough with the lame Christmas Carol Parody….

On to the list of books….

Whether you are a kid or a kid at heart…

one of the best treats of the season is a cozy spot on the couch and read a loud time!

Here are some of my favorites!

Jan Brett is famous for her Christmas/Winter Themed books….Don’t miss these!

When a little Reindeer Herder thinks she needs to be bossy….and this doesn’t sit so well with her charges….She has to figure out something else so they will be ready to help Santa! Who knows….maybe you know a bossy pants who might learn something from the story!

This is a classic Jan Brett story….all the animals are beautifully drawn and the secondary story found in the illustrated borders is a fun discovery!

More Jan Brett with the Gingerbread Baby and Friends

A little different take on the classic story with illustrations so beautiful that they make you hungry!

Don’t miss Jan Brett’s Website either!
Here you will find coloring pages, videos, and hours of fun activites that relate to her wonderful books

I always bring along my almost antique Gingerbread Boy when I read these stories….

And Patricia Polacco….what a story teller she is!

I especially love how she weaves tales that have multi-cultural themes without being preachy about it!

In the Christmas Tapestry, we see love and generosity played out in a holiday story….a true connection to what the season is all about!

Oh and I love that the tapestry comes from a second hand store!

The Trees of the Dancing Goats is a story of friendship as well as a lovely way to highlight some of the wonderful Hanukkah traditions. Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah….this is a true example to show the miracle that comes from giving and sharing.
