Your favorite Christmas book?

[echogirl]

I'm in need of some good Christmas book recommendations for my 6 and 5 year old.
We have a few books but can you ever really have enough books? I would have to say The Polar Express is one of my favs.
SO what is your favourite Children Christmas story?

We love A very Marley Christmas, it's about the dog Marley. We got it out the library last year, and I couldn't wait to get it out again this year.

Hoping there'll be more suggestions, I tried looking for more christmas books recently, and there seemed to be mostly sticker activity books and 5 versions of Twas the Night before Christmas.

I also love Mog's Christmas by Judith Kerr, it's one of a series of British books about a cat, not sure if you'd get it over where you are, maybe an international book swap would be fun, I loved the idea of you receiving that Australian Christmas book.

This was one of our very favourite books to read over Christmas time.
One Snowy Night by Nick Butterworth.
One Snowy Night (A Tale from Percy's Park): Amazon.co.uk: Nick Butterworth: Books

Christmas on Exeter Street is also delightful.(Just checked on Amazon...looks like it is a collectors piece now at that price!)

This is not in my league any more but I think Ali Edwards may have had some lists on her site during the past years December Daily posts.

Cajun Night Before Christmas We lived in Baton Rouge for two years, and it was so fun to read it with the accent. Brevin loved it. Probably not what you are looking for in your neck of the woods though, eh?

Boys girl or both?? My girls love the Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas! There's also 'Twas the Night Before Christmas! Such a classic! Good luck on your search!

Chrissy, I love the idea of an international book exchange, I'm just sad that Isabel is too old for Christmas books. We have always read "A Visit from St. Nicholas", as a result, she at age 3, complained to a cashier in the grocery store that there weren't enough reindeer in a seasonal display. He told her that if she could name all of the reindeer, he would speak to the manager and they'd fix the problem. The look on his face when she did was priceless. http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Caro.../dp/0762408316 This is a wonderfully illustrated version of "A Christmas Carol" for children. The illustrations are by Christian Birmingham and it is abridged for children. Enjoy!

Some of our latest favs are:

Splendiferous Christmas
Merry Christmas Splat
A Very Marley Christmas
The Sweet Smell of Christmas
We also have a book of all kinds of princess Christmas stories... The girls love that too.
We also have Polar Express, THe night before Christmas, Rudolph... we read them all. Book time at night in December is one of my favorite things...

We love to read and it is even better during Christmas. The favorite this year is the Charlie Brown Christmas book I got at Walmart. It has buttons that play music and the kids love that it is exactly like the TV program

I still have my copy of the Polar Express from when I was little

Love all these books. This is going to be a dangerous thread ladies.
LOL Susan that's hilarious!
