She whispers * Christmas* x
Hello sorry to bring on the Christmas preperations, but I have seen a lovely idea of wrapping up 25 books that the children can unwrap each day prior to christmas at story time (obviously they are not going to be with me for that many days, so will adjust to the amount I need) now any good christmas stories?
Will do -
The Christmas kitten
Night Before Christmas
The story of Jesus

Twas the night before Christmas is my favourite....

If you put 'Christmas' into Amazon lots will come up.
Don't forget winter themed books for children whose families don't celebrate Christmas!

I love that one too!
We bought DS1 a gorgeous version for his first Christmas five years ago - it's all in silhouette with cut-out pages and has a pop-up scene at the end. We read it every Christmas Eve just before bed xx
The rest of the year it lives on a high shelf so it doesn't get damaged! Cruel mummy

what a lovely idea. i might have borrow that
there is a cat & mouse book called jingle bell ( i think! ) my copy came with a small bell tied on to it!
there is a 'very snowy christmas'
and i'm sure that thomas, kipper, peppa and the rest of the television characters have christmas/snowy/winter books around!
oh and aliens love panta claws! not as good as the original, but ok!
i have lots of different versions of the nativity story that we read at christmas

I have quite a few but I think they are in a box put away. We have most mentioned and how santa works or something like that, great for the older ones. Last year we got ds horrible christmas' this year it will be the moshi monster one. Think we have a nativity school play type one too. I'm hoping Stick Man is on tv this chritmas. After all the times I have read a Gruffalos child I never realised he is holding a stick man!
Oh how about mxing it with some dvds? you can get loads for cex delivered cheapily

My christmas books are in the loft - I get them out and put them back with the decorations! We just have so many books that I can't have them all out and they seem more special when they are seen for a shorter time!
I would include books with winter animals, weather books - snowy/icy, also we made a nativity book last year so that will be coming out again, as well as books about christmas traditions, babushka and christian ones, I even have a few board type picture ones with just big pictures of santa etc.

I tend to buy or 1 or 2 new christmas books a year for my daughter my favourite is Shhhh! about father christmas being too noisy my husband bought her one last year about father christmas needing a wee (can't remeber exact title.) Can't think of any others that haven't been mentioned oh we got a disney one with lots of different stories in got from The Works where I get most of my books from.

That reminds me we have one called a message to santa. It is about a gril being scared of him coming into the house. It use to be mindees faves. Also we have one like dear zoo.
