20 Great Christmas Books for Kids

Christmas is coming! Now is the time to buy or check out books for the season. We always try to build up our holiday library bit by bit each year. You can also start the wonderful tradition of wrapping the books up and opening one a day during the month of December!

Here are 20 great Christmas books for kids – some that are our favorites and some from our wish list!

Mary Engelbreit’s Nutcracker – Beautiful pictures and a delightful way to introduce this story to little ones.

Drummer Boy – It’s a sweet, quiet story about a toy drummer boy that ends up at the feet of baby Jesus.

The Little Drummer Boy – We have the board book and the kids like to read/sing it all year long.

This Is the Stable – The kids love the repetition and we all love the story.

Christmas Mouseling – A wonderful book to snuggle up with the kids and read.

Duck & Goose, It’s Time for Christmas! by Tad Hills (Sep 14 2010) – Simple, cute book. My 2 year old loves it. 🙂

We Believe in Christmas – Made me cry. I can’t help it! Christmas stories that are actually about Jesus make me cry!

Tiny Baby Jesus – Very sweet. Goes back and forth between scenes of Jesus’ life as an adult and a baby.

Under the Star – Great repetition and counting.

The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado (Aug 30 2011) – Always a favorite. A lovely story about a lamb that is not like the rest but has a special purpose in God’s plan.
