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?
