24 Books of Christmas...
Gather together 24 books that you plan to read during the Christmas season. Wrap them. (they don't have to be new books!) Have your child choose a new book to read before bed each night.I think I've mentioned before that I try to introduce a new book everyday. Lately I've been reading the new book after dinner. Both kids are captivated in their high chairs as I read, and almost every night Patrick asks me to reread the book. It is so much fun to rediscover some of my old favorites, and read brand new books.
I am going to try this idea for the Christmas season, but I plan to only do about 10 books. Off the top of my head here are the ones I will include.
Polar Express - Chris Van Allsburg
Gingerbread Baby - Jan Brett
Gingerbread Friends - Jan Brett
Home for Christmas - Jan Brett
The Night Before Christmas - (I have a Jan Brett version)
Room for a Little One - Martin Waddell
The Spirit of Christmas - Nancy Tillman
Merry Christmas Mom and Dad - Mercer Meyer
How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Dr. Seuss
Llama Llama Holiday Drama - Ann Dewdney
Where Is Baby's Christmas present? - Karen Katz
Your challenge - What are some of your faorite books that you plan to share with your child? Make a list, go to the library and check them out!
