hello wise mumsnetters I wondered if anyone could recommend a book about FC for a 2 year old boy. We want him to get all excited about Father Christmas this year and thought a book might be the way to go. TIA

I think two is a bit too early, personally. I think first two Christmases at least should be small, not too manic affairs with not too presents. And I like Christmas!

Maisy's Christmas is a sweet book for the whole christmas thing - tree, wrapping things up etc. But no mention of FC.

Just bumping this Lucy, as I'd been thinking exactly the same thing. Ds (2.9) will 'get it' this year for the first time, and I thought a story book would be a good intro to the whole chimney/stocking/reindeers malarkey.

So...... anyone got ideas? Please?

Sorrell - it will be his third Xmas - does that make a difference?!!

Surely you can't go past "The Night Before Christmas"? Or is that for older children?
