I'll Be Home For Christmas by Holly Hobbie
One of my all time favorites for December. Holly knows how to create a feeling of winter, excitement and coziness with her watercolor. She also has one other Toot and Puddle winter wonders called Let It Snow.

Merry Christmas, Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood
I am a big fan of The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear. This is a perfect sequel to that story. I love using this as a problem solving book where the kids think of what the Big Hungry Bear got the little mouse for Christmas.

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
My favorite believe story, which is why I did it for 17 years in Kindergarten. A true story of the magic of children and the holiday.
