Awesome Books for the Holidays

Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas, Jane O’Connor continues to expand our vocabulary in her splendiferous book that describes the challenges of decorating for Christmas. Heirlooms, delectable, and devastated are only 3 of the fancy words that Fancy Nancy uses as the Clancy family prepare for a Joyeux Noel (that’s French for Merry Christmas). Besides the great vocabulary, Nancy also shows us how we can create our own heirlooms! ISBN#978-0-06-123590-0

Kids in 3rd grades and up will enjoy the rich details in Audrey Wood's text and Robert Florczak's illustrations in A Cowboy Christmas~The Miracle at Lone Pine Ridge. The challenges of surviving the spectacular, yet harsh realities of ranching in the pioneer West, plus the trusting bond between a cowboy and a young boy make this a great read for girls and boys! ISBN#0-689-82190-5

Cynthia Rylant, author, and Diane Goode, illustrator, share a beautiful account of how many celebrated the joy of the holidays with homemade ornaments, Christmas Eve service, and brown bags with candy, nuts & tangerines. It makes one yearn for Christmas In The Country! ISBN#0-439-76985-X

These are only 3 of the many awesome books that reflect the joy and wonder of the holidays. What are some of your favorites?
