Christmas books for kids - recommendations

[charlottekb]

My boy is 4 now and is so excited about Christmas already. Im wondering if anyone has any Christmas book recommendations for someone his age? Im searching on Amazon and there are loads to choose from but I dont want them to be too young for his age, so any experienced people of boys my age out there, please let me know what your kids love....

Thanks in advance!

Father Christmas needs a Wee: absolute hit with 4 - 7 year olds!

I normally teach reception class (on maternity leave at the moment though)

These books have been popular with past classes:

Stick Man by Julia Donaldson (not strictly a Christmas book but Santa turns up towards the end)

Father Christmas needs a Wee

The Jolly Christmas Postman

Slinky Malinki's Christmas Crackers

Dear Santa (same as Dear Zoo really)

I haven't tried The Twelve Days of Christmas by Robert Sabuda yet, it looks lovely though.

Have you been to Tales on Moon Lane? They usually have a fantastic selection of well chosen books. Might be worth a visit.

Hope that helps :)

They had a vast selection of children's Christmas books on the shelves today @ TKMAX and an absolute favorite of my children had to be The Jolly Christmas Postman
