Not only is this the most wonderful time of the year, as the song goes, but it is also the most wonderful time to buy books. Tis the season of giving and what greater gift than the gift of reading. I think many of us think books make a great gift. But, don't overlook the great seasonal books that are out right now. I've noticed in the ads I've been getting that stores have been using Christmas books, including wonderful children's Christmas books as a teaser to get people into their stores. So, treat yourself and your children to a pre-Christmas gift. For all the running around you do this time of year, all the gift wrapping, all the goodie making, etc., etc., you deserve it.
Here are a few of my favorite titles that I've gotten this year. For preschoolers: What Santa Can't Do. It says that one of the things Santa can't do is drive a car (that would hurt the reindeer's feelings). It's a very cute book. There is also a fun musical board book for Up on the Housetop. My grandkids love it! For a little bit older children, I got a child's version of It's a Wonderful Life. What a classic story. The lead character is the son of George Bailey, Tommy. It has a similar theme as the original. Then, I got the board book version of Christmas Oranges. I've wanted to get this one for a few years now, and I just kept passing it up. But, with the great teaser price, I couldn't resist this year. I plan to read it to my family Chrismas Eve.
Christmas books just add to the anticipation and excitement for your little ones. Enjoy their sweetness and innocence this holiday season. They are, after all, the most precious gift we have been given.
