So, there you have it! I have reviews up on the blog for most of these books, so if you want more information feel free to browse my review indexes. Do you have any other recommendations? Good Christmas books can be hard to come by, but I can never read too many!
My brother and I loved The Polar Express book as kids. Another book for young readers that my brother absolutely loved is “The Wild Christmas Reindeer” by Jan Brett.
I was late to The Polar Express bandwagon. It was never a book I enjoyed as a young kid, only in the last 10 years or so, actually.
I’ll have to go look up The Wild Christmas Reindeer! I am always looking for more Christmas picture books. :)
I adore Christmas books, I’m so glad you put together this post! There were quite a few on here that I’d never heard of before, so thanks for the recommendations! :) Also, I’m so glad to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on here–it has always been one of my favorites.
I never read many Christmas books, but should. Planning to read A Christmas Carol this year.
Ooh,”Let It Snow” and “Dash & Lily’s” seems familiar. ;)
“Snowed Over” is on my wish list… Thanks to a recommendation from a blogger. ;)
My favourite childhood Christmas book was “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas”. I loved it so much that I bought it for one of younger relatives as her first Christmas book.
