Polar Express is a good one too. </p> <p>I just googled it to jog my memory and I love this list of options:http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7803.Favorite_Christmas_Picture_Books</p> <p>Personally I would be happy to throw winter books in the pile too like The Mitten and Snowy Day.</p> <p>What fun!
