When I was growing up, my mom gave each of us kids a book at Christmas. It's a tradition I loved, and I wish we had carried it on as we got older. If you like to give books at Christmas, here are two that would be perfect for the young kids in your life.
‘Tis the season for joy! Celebrate the family fun and season’s blessings of Christmas with a young arctic fox as your family remembers that Jesus is the best gift of all. Amy Parker’s delightful rhymes and Virginia Allyn’s sweet illustrations make Night Night, Angel the perfect read-aloud for toddlers and preschoolers enjoying the Christmas season.
Little fox loves all the excitement that Christmas brings to the forest: making creative presents, placing the star on the tree, and making sure she is spotlight-ready for the big Christmas play. But soon she realizes that the perfect gift has already been given through the baby who arrived on the first Christmas night!
As the fourth seasonal title in the hugely successful Night Night bedtime storybook brand, this Christmas board book
- gives families a fun way to say goodnight during the Advent season
- celebrates the special moments of family holiday activities
- gently reminds children that Baby Jesus is the reason for the season
The Christmas theme and sparkling cover make Night Night, Angel perfect for an Advent gift, stocking stuffer, or Christmas morning surprise from parents, grandparents, Sunday school teachers, and friends. Your little angel will be ready to snuggle in for the night as together you celebrate the many blessings of Christmas!
Night Night, Angel is such a cute board book! It has fun illustrations, a textured cover, and a cute story that ends up centered on Jesus. I think families will enjoy reading this book together, and I love that it brings Jesus into the story. 5 stars.
What will children do when a sluggish Slothy Claus doesn’t make it to their home in time for Christmas morning? This charming story helps kids learn that Christmas is about more than just presents under the tree.
Slothy Claus has lots of presents for good boys and girls this year, but how is this notoriously lethargic animal supposed to travel all around the world in just one night? You guessed it! Slothy takes his sweet time, and when kids wake up to empty stockings and bare trees, it feels like Christmas is ruined! How will they ever find happiness without their chocolates and toys?
Slothy Claus is equal parts humorous and heartwarming. Children ages 4 to 8 will
- learn that the joy of Christmas doesn’t come from material things but from the love between family and friends
- enjoy the delightfully funny one-of-a-kind artwork
- love the classic rhyme that will fill your own family’s Christmas with love, laughter, and a spirit of giving
Slothy Claus concludes with a summer scene complete with flip flops and a barbecue when Slothy Claus finally flies down in his sleigh to deliver gift after gift–for a special celebration of Christmas in July. With a bright, glittery cover, this fun picture book is the perfect gift for advent or Christmas.
Slothy Claus is silly fun! It replaces Santa with a sloth ... with predictably "slothy" results! The illustrations are clever (keep an eye out for Slothy's monkey helper), and the story points out that presents aren't the most important part of Christmas. Slothy Claus is a quick, fun read! (Note: There's no mention of Jesus in this one - it's just secular holiday fun.) 4 stars.
