Christmas Books for Kids

The Best Christmas Books for Kids

One of our favorite holiday traditions is reading together each night at bedtime–especially Christmas books themed around the season. The excitement builds as the big day draws near, and the littles fall asleep with visions of sugar plums and holiday magic fills their dreams.

This week, we’re featuring the best Christmas books for kids, and we have a big list! If we’ve left out any of your favorites, please let us know in the comments below. We are always on the lookout for new books to read.

We are also sharing a free printable Christmas copywork activity and library checklist. Just scroll down for the link!
