December is here!

One of my favorite times of the year...December. All around, things change shape. Snow falls, lights glow and we all seem to care a little bit more. I have been looking at my collection since November, trying to figure out what books I can read in the three and a half weeks before we get out for the break!

This week, we did "A Cookie for Santa" by Stephen Shaw. The story is about a super cookie who helps save Christmas and becomes a friend to Santa instead of a treat! Once again, another fun rhyming book that the kids adore!

"The Last Christmas Tree" by Stephen Krensky is so sweet and the illustrations by Pascal Campion are darling!! The kids are very sweet and take a liking to the little tree right away even though no one else does in the story. In the end, the little tree ends up finding the best home of all.... at the North Pole!

I wish it offered more images online so I could show you the art inside the book, but I guess that just means you will need to read it and find out for yourself - you won't be disappointed!
