Suggestions for a Holiday Wish List of Books:
I’ll share with you ten books that I find interesting reads. (Of course there are many more and it was difficult to choose only ten.)
Some are classics I’ve read with my daughter as she was growing up and and now with the grandchildren, carrying on a family heritage of reading. I also have come across some fun books this year in my substitute teaching or in my research for books to share with you here at One Book Two Book.
- Little Women - Louisa May Alcott
- Heidi – Johanna Spyri
- Gingerbread Friends - Jan Brett
- The Mitten – Jan Brett
- Cole Family Christmas - Jennifer Lui Bryan & Hazel Cole Kendle
- Julie and the Lost Fairy Tale – Janie Lancaster
- Painting the Wild Frontier – Susanna Reich
- Fairy Houses (Fairy House Series) – Tracy Kane
- ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas
- My Dear Phebe – Janet Elaine Smith
And an all time favorite – A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Lewis Stevenson. My mom read this to us when I was a child, and I consider it one of those “must reads” to share with children everywhere.
What are some of your favorite children’s books…on a Christmas list for your children or yourself?
