I'd love to get a couple for Charlie and Olive, particularly one that is about a Christmas tree.
What are some of your favorites? The only one we have is Olive the Other Reindeer, which we love!

@Mrs. Bee: we bought her 'Twas the night before Christmas last year and have started the tradition of daddy reading it on Christmas eve.
We found a version that is animated and really pretty so it should hold up well for years to come.Looking to buy her a new one this year as well!
-
@lovehoneybee: this is a great list! Getting lots of ideas...
-
@Mrs. Bee: I have a book on my amazon wish list called "a wish to be a Christmas tree"! Looks so good!
-
@lovehoneybee: good list! I think I might look for frosty or llama llama or Rudolph!
-
Omg does everyone remember The Little GOLDEN books?? Too bad Rudolph is sold out. But frosty is available!

i'm looking for books your LO's LOVE because Olive is very picky when it comes to books. If she doesn't like it, she won't even pay attention and just demands that i read the same books over and over again... unless they have a flap! and i'm trying to move away from those type of books so that she'll focus more on the story....
-
The Good Little Christmas Tree is a great book, but maybe too old for her.
Mr. Willoby's Christmas tree is a good one.
The Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher
Bialoski's Christmas
Merry Christmas, Strega Nona

Bear Snores On isn't Christmasy but it is FANTASTIC.
-
@locavore_mama: what version of twas the night before Christmas do you have?
-
I love The Polar Express! I was so excited that hallmark had bell ornaments this year!
-
@lovehoneybee: ooh, I want to do this too! Lots of awesome ideas on your list!
-
Tor LOVES Fa La La by Leslie Patricelli. He makes us read it to him over and over. He also likes Elmo's night before Christmas but not quite as much.
-
@mrskc: I will take a picture tonight. It has holograms on every page so it looks like the images are moving. It's really very neat and a great 'keepsake' one I think.
I got it at BJs last year. -
@locavore_mama: @mrskc: Is it this?
It doesn't look like this is the ani-motion version, though. We got ours as a gift a few years ago with the ani-motion.
-
Anyone have a suggestion for a book about The Nutcracker?
-
@Andrea: yes, it looks like it but mine as the hologram motion too.
-
@locavore_mama: the first review said that they got rid of it!
-
@Andrea: !!! http://amzn.com/0740784323

I had this one when I was small and LOVED it! You just reminded me to get it while I'm at my parents' house for Thanksgiving
-
I grew up loving Santa Mouse (http://amzn.com/0760703558) and Angelina's Christmas (http://amzn.com/0142411922). As an adult my favorites have become some of Max Lucado's books like The Crippled Lamb (http://amzn.com/1400318076) and Frederick Thury's The Last Straw (http://amzn.com/0881063606). Whether C will sit still long enough to listen to them is another story.
-
@locavore_mama: woohoo!!
-
@rachiecakes: looks beautiful, thanks!!!
-
Olive the Reindeer, Polar Express, Grinch Seuss, Clifford and a Little People flap book.
-
@locavore_mama: Thanks! Just ordered it! I've been on the hunt for The Night Before Christmas book and that one looks really nice.
-
@Mrs. Bee: I think "Tree of Cranes" by Allen Say would fit the bill. I love his illustrations and this book has a solid story. Say's last name is also written "Seii", and the story reflects his Japanese heritage. I bet you'll enjoy it, we did!
-
We just read Winters Gift. It was amazing and beautiful.
-
Bennett really loves Dinosaur vs Santa, as do I - it's not big on words (mostly roar) but the pictures are adorable.
