Books for a 3 Year Old

Looking for recommendations for Christmassy books for a 3 year old. Nothing too long but hopefully a nice story and something that can grow with us as they get older.

Clays garden centre do one where you fill in their name for the story 'DC saves Christmas'
The gruffalos child is good.
The snowman.
DS likes anything with penguins on the cover.

The Jolly Christmas Postman
Father Christmas by Raymond Briggs
Alfie’s Christmas
Pick A Pine Tree

DS's favourites last year were 'The Snowman', 'The Snowman and the Snowdog' and 'Christmas Gremlins.'
Stickman by Julia Donaldson is Christmassy as well.

My DD loves the Christmas Pine which was Julia Donaldson's new one last year. It's very simple and about the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree. It's her Christmas wish this year to go see it in real life!

I also got her a very beautiful board book of the Nutcracker for her stocking last year and she loves it so much we've been reading it throughout the year! Not just for Christmas apparently!

The Jolly Christmas Postman is also lovely.

Ah, I remember those illustrations in 'Pick A Pine Tree". Magical.

OP,
'Robin's Winter Song' by Suzanne Barton is a gentle keepsake book.

The Christmas bear? The night before Christmas? Even stick man.

I just read Father Christmas goes on holiday by Raymond Briggs with the three year old I look after and he thought it was hilarious!
Mog at Christmas is good too, we love Jesus Christmas party by Nicholas Allen as well, the cross innkeeper always makes them laugh.

Farmer Christmas by Catherine Baddeley is lovely for that age.

I just read Father Christmas goes on holiday by Raymond Briggs with the three year old I look after and he thought it was hilarious. Both of mine loved that one and his other books Wink
