Best Christmas Books?

[Theonlyoneiknow]

Hi,

I am going to get the DC a new Christmas book each for Christmas Eve. They are 18 mo, and 4yrs. Any suggestions? We have got the night before Christmas, jolly postman Christmas, spots first Christmas and santa comes to "our town".

Thank you!

Kipper's Christmas (?Eve) is nice.
Slinki Malinki's Christmas Cracker
Maisy's Christmas Eve (has lots of nice flaps to lift)
Snow is my favourite and my best (Charlie and Lola)
The Christmas Bear (Axel Scheffler) has loads of flaps too
The Tomten
The Snow Children

we have read so far and been enjoyed by my just turned 5 year old and occasionally my 18 month old (when she sits still for 5 mins!)

jesus' christmas party
the little fir tree (only available second hand but lovely)
a letter to santa (think thats it lovely story of a girl who accidently sends a grocery list to santa!)
santa needs a wee (im not keen dd loves it though!)
chicken licken's christmas
maisys Christmas eve
stick man (santa features therefore christmassy!!)

but also have to read (havent given tp them yet)
the dinosaur who pooped Christmas
hurry up santa
santa comes to...
the nativity play

also there's
dear santa
various character ones
night before Christmas

My daughter loves 'father christmas needs a wee' and has got ' Father Christmas comes up trumps' for christmas this year which I'm sure she will love just as much.

Mog's Christmas is lovely.

Santa Claus has a busy night is a favourite in our house plus Lucy and Tom's Christmas is a classic!

I haven't read Alfie's Christmas but it looks lovely and like it could be an updated Lucy and Tom's Christmas...

Stick Man by Julia Donaldson
Threadbear by Mick Inkpen

Perfect! Thanks so much x

That's not my reindeer

That's not my santa

for the 4 year old to read to the 18 month old who can touch the fur etc

They are lovely!

I've bought mine the snowman and the snowdog (with cd) this year and Santa comes to.......
The snowman and the Christmas fairies is a favourite of ours though too and the mr men and little miss Christmas specials (with glitter pages)

Good list here

Ds used to love Shhh Santa!

There it is.Kids adore it!

Another vote for Father Christmas needs a Wee! Not from me but from my kids, my 6-year old would not give it up this year! Another nice one is Secret Santa out of stock at the moment but maybe good for next year - it's a bit 'older', would be perfect for the now 5-year but then 6-year-old next year!
