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!

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 :)

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
