Christmas book for 10 year old - similar to the Christmasaurus books

[ohwhattododo]

Can anyone recommend a Christmas book to read with my 10 year old throughout December? Our Elf always brings a new book with her on 1st December :-) We've done the Christmasaurus books for the last few years, but we've read them all now!

As they're ten, you could do a classic children's book maybe? The Box of Delights is gorgeous. And The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is very Christmassy? For something shorter, Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales is lovely. None of them are kind of laugh-a-minute like the Christmasaurus books but all very festive if that ticks a box.

We’ve gone for the Christmas pig this year - hoping it’s good!

I'd go for one of the beautiful cloth bound classics from Puffin Christmas carol Little Women, Railway Children or perhaps Ballet shoes all have a christmasy feel to me

We got the Matt Lucas book The Boy Who Slept through Christmas book last week. Haven’t started it yet but my DD wanted it because it has songs in like Tom Fletcher’s Space Band.

Ben Miller has written several (The Night I Met Father Christmas, Christmas Elf series etc).

Matt Haig has several too (A Boy Called Christmas, The Girl who Saved Christmas etc).

The Christmas Pig is an ok read.
