I'm coming in late and kind of breaking the rules (forgive me Jessica, I'll save you a scoop of Apple Cranberry Crisp) to share some of our favorite Advent/Christmas books. I'll have more next week, I promise. It's been a long day of cooking and cleaning so I'm going to type this up quick like {with affiliate links, but you probably already knew that…}:
The Professor: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens~ Specifically this one illustrated by talented P.J. Lynch
Sunshine: An Orange for Frankie by Patricia Polacco~ She likes the sappy ones.
Shortcake: Letters From Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien ~ She has taken to drawing her own pictures including polar bears.
BigBoy: Angela and the Baby Jesus by Frank McCourt ~
It's a new favorite.
Cupcake: A Christmas Carol: A BabyLit Colors Primer ~ We turned on The Muppets Christmas Carol the other night and after hearing a "Bah-Humbug" and "Old Marley was as dead as a door nail," she piped up with "Hey, that's my book!"
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Love your pics, Charlotte! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGreat book recommends, we just ordered several of those. I cannot wait to receive the Tolkien one! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting the Tolkien one this Christmas. I am very excited about this!
ReplyDeleteHi Charlotte:
ReplyDeleteMy family LOVES Angela and the Baby Jesus!! I scored a copy of it years ago at a half price book store. Mine is an audio read by Frank McCourt and my kids would read/listen to it all year if I let them. If I had realized what a treasure it was I would have purchased every copy on the shelf to share as gifts (it was under $3).
Blessings, Kelly F.
I just bought ALL of these, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! just ordered a few more to add to our collection :) I appreciate the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI know this post is really old, but I just wanted to let you know that your link for Jessica in the first line goes to a really terrible website. I hope you can remove it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I removed it.
