During the holidays I love reading and watching holiday themed stories with my children, so I am always on the look out for great new books and movies to add to our list. I was recently sent some great Christmas themed books from Candlewick Press to check out with my kids. I am going to be sharing three of the books with you today that are better suited for younger children and later this week I will be sharing a few books for older kids including one that is a good middle school read.
Peppa Pig and the Christmas Play (Retail $12.99)
This hardcover book includes a coloring
poster which is located under the book jacket. Peppa Pig and her class room are
going to be putting on a holiday play where they all get to select who they
would like to be. All of the children are very excited and each has said they ran
into Santa at the store or at the mall and told him about the play and that he
said he would come. The teacher let's the kids know that Santa is very busy and
might not make it, they are slightly bummed when they start and he isn't there.
But Santa does end up showing up which makes the children quite happy. After
the show Santa takes all the children for a ride in his sleigh.
I thought this was a cute book and it is perfect for young girls and boys who love Peppa Pig!
Maisy's ChristmasParty by Lucy Cousins (Retail $14.99)
Maisy is throwing a
Christmas party so she sends invites to each of her friends. Through out the
book you see her friends get excited about the party and write responses back
to her, the page after each one sends a reply features the letter which is sent
to Maisy. You get to reach into each envelope and pull out the letter with each
reply, some of the envelopes also include extra goodies like a joke book or a
gingerbread man with a gingerbread recipe written on it (and yes it is a real
recipe with instructions so you can make them if you choose to do so).
This
book seems like it is mainly aimed at younger children, but both of my kids who
are ages six and ten really enjoyed this book as well and thought the envelopes
with things in them was a really neat idea. The very last envelope she gives
out after the party and it is a letter/gift for the person reading the book and
has a spot where you can write your child's name. Many of the "gifts"
inside of the book can actually be hung up which I think is an excellent idea
and is sure to brighten the day of your child.
We're going on abear hunt; Chirstmas Activity book by Walker Productions LTD (Retail $9.99)
This activity book is based off of the book "We're going on a bear hunt" which is a cute book about the adventure a family goes on. This activity book has a lot to do inside of it from cross words to actual crafts and baking. This is meant to be a count down to Christmas book, and is has a tree in the back with a Christmas count down that you add stickers too, along with the stickers for this activity there are over 100 stickers in total! The very back of the book holds all of the stickers along with the page number of the activity they go with. This book seems like a lot of fun for children of all ages! Children can often get a little impatient waiting for Christmas to arrive once December hits, and this activity book is a great way to help keep them entertained leading up to the holiday. I really like that it isn't just activities that you color in the book, instead they also include crafts to do at home with your parents you just need the materials to complete the projects.

These looks like sweet books, I've been making a Christmas book wish list!
My son absolutely adores Peppa Pig! I think you're onto something here :)
My daughter would probably love the We're Going on a Bear Hunt Christmas book. Thanks for sharing.
Aww, these look like great kids' books - which is always the case if it's Candlewick Press! My kids are a little old for many of their offerings now :(, but they might have fun with the activity book at the end.

When you are the leader of the group, you are responsible for the atmosphere. If you come to work in a bad mood and are disrespectful to your team, the atmosphere will be a negative one. Always try to keep things positive at the office, work site and in your communications withsatta king
