The Best Christmas Books for Kids They’ll Love
One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is cozying up with my kids and reading some of our favorite Christmas books. We are usually on break from our typical homeschool work, but we always make time to read each day. That’s why I am sharing my favorite Christmas books for kids!
I have provided links for all of these Christmas books for kids. I do make a small commission at no cost to you. However; we are all about saving here. If you’re looking to save more money this holiday season, be sure to check your local library, thrift stores, or even youtube to enjoy these books.
The Best Christmas Books for Kids:
The Night Before Christmas
The classic Christmas story we all grew up loving. This book has beautiful illustrations and my kids look forward to it every year.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
We love the Grinch in our house! My kids get this book out the day after Halloween and read it over and over again! It’s now available in full color!
Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh!
I don’t think any library run is complete in our house without a Mo Willems book. If you’re a fan of the Piegon or Elephant & Piggie, you will love this one.
Bear Stays Up for Christmas
This is such an adorable book. The story is so sweet and the artwork is beautiful.
The Christmas Owl
The Christmas owl is such a neat true story. My children love anything bird or owl related, so this one is definitely a winner in our house. The artwork also makes it a wonderful addition to your collection of Christmas books for kids.
Pick a Pine Tree
Even though we don’t buy a real Christmas tree every season, this is still a wonderful book. This is one adults will love, in addition to the kids!
The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving: The True Meaning of Christmas
If you love the Berenstain Bears, this is another one you have to check out! Join Brother and Sister Bear at the Christmas Eve pageant as they witness the very first Christmas, and make an important discovery about giving and receiving, a valuable lesson at Christmas and year around.
God Gave Us Christmas
It all starts with a question, “who invented Christmas?”. My toddlers especially love the “God Gave Us” books and I know yours will too!
Room for a Little One: A Christmas Tale
“Room for a Little One” beautifully captures the essence of Christmas by portraying the spirit of generosity and the importance of making space in our hearts and lives for others.
