The holiday season is such a magical time, especially with little ones around! What better way to celebrate than with some special Christmas books for children? There are tons of generally seasonal and specifically Christmas books for children that it’s hard to know which ones to pick out!
I like to pick out a variety of books on a single topic–especially a subject that’s as extensive as Christmas and the holidays! You’ll see that some of these Christmas books for children have familiar characters (The Berenstain Bears, Dora, Max and Ruby), some have a traditional topic (The Night Before Christmas) and others are slightly more serious but likely more magical and memorable. I think that means there’s a little something for everyone!
