Grade school children Holiday books from Candlewick Press!




I recently shared some great holiday themed books that are perfect for toddlers and now I am going to share a few books aimed towards older children including a chapter book. I really enjoyed reading through all three of these with my kids and think they are the perfect books to add to any holiday collection.



Dasher by Matt Tavares (Retail $17.99)

We've all heard the story about Rudolph and how he came to be one of Santa's reindeer pulling his sleigh, but have you heard the stories of the other reindeer? This story is all about Dasher and her adventures. The story starts off a little sad because her family works at the Circus and the circus owner doesn't treat them very well, so Dasher always pictures a better life in a place filled with snow like her mother describes from when she was younger herself.

One night the gate to their pen was left open so Dasher took the chance to run, she follows the brightest star in the sky but starts to get lost until she comes upon a man talking with a horse in the woods. That horses name was Silverbell and the man? It was Santa himself, she offers to help pull the sleigh because she heard Santa ask Silverbell if he wants to rest because the sleigh was heavier than normal. Santa agrees and she helps pull the sleigh delivering all the gifts and Santa takes her back home to the North Pole. She tells Santa her Christmas wish is to be with her family so Santa goes and rescues the rest of her family and brings them to the North Pole as well. I really enjoyed this book, the story was heart warming and it helps put you in the holiday mood.



Little Robin's Christmas by Jan Fearnley (Retail $16.99)

This sweet book showcases the true meaning of Christmas and it was a lovely read. This book is about a little Robin and his warm Christmas sweaters. Little Robin pulls out his favorite seven sweatshirts the week before Christmas and he plans to wear one each day until Christmas. Each day Little Robin excitedly puts on his sweater and he goes out to explore and he unexpectedly runs into an animal in need on each of the seven days. Being the kind Robin that he is, he offers the cold animal he comes across his sweatshirt.

On Christmas Eve he gives away his last sweater but on this particular day he was further away from home than usual so on his way back he ends up becoming quite cold so he stops on a roof to rest and ends up falling asleep. He is awoken by a man's voice and is scooped up by the same man telling him that he is alright and is going to be taken someplace special. Little Robin then finds himself in Santa's home, Santa told him he has showed the true meaning of Christmas and he is very proud of him. Santa warms up the Little Robin and gives him a special gift that Mrs. Clause made for him! A little red sweater made from a red string from Santa's own sweater. He tells Robin that the sweater is magic, it will always keep him warm and will make those who seem him in the sweatshirt feel warm as well. Then Robin is dropped back off at home and he awakes to go out and wish all of his new friends a Merry Christmas.

I really enjoyed this book and it was sweet to see all the different animals the Little Robin helped. Even with some people don't have a whole lot they are the one's who give the most. This is not only a good holiday book but a great lesson to teach children during the holidays.




This book is about a little sheep named Hillary who isn't like the other sheep in her flock. She stands out from the others not only because of her unique personality but because her wool is rainbow in color. She loves everything about Christmas, and she especially loves Santa. She is very excited to learn that Santa is traveling around Ireland looking for a sheep with perfect wool to use for his very own sweatshirt.

She goes on a journey to trying to get Santa's attention and in the end she is successful. It was a great book and is perfect for Grades 2-5th. There were a lot of cute illustrations mixed into each chapter as well to help break things up and keep kids engaged in the book.

I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing  the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a  VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
