Christmas Books for Children

I've really been embracing the Christmas season with the kids, but we didn't just stop at Christmas activities. We've also been reading a lot of Christmas books, and I want to share some of our favorites with you.

For Babies/Younger Toddlers -

For Older Toddlers/Preschoolers -

Sofie frequently likes to pretend to read grown-up books to me. "Once upon a time there was a girl who had a chair. And she sat down in the chair and then she got back up." But sometimes she'll take time out from reading the most scintillating stories ever to request that I read her a kids book. Here are a few of her favorites:

School age kids (or 38-year-olds who can't quite let go of their favorite childhood books) -

I don't have any school age kids in my life to buy books for, so I only have one recommendation for this category. This is a two book collection of all the Christmas chapters in the Little House books. My inner ten-year-old was so excited when I found these books!

I'm always adding new books to the collection, so I would love to hear about your favorite Christmas books for children. What are your favorites?
