The Autobiography of Santa Claus When I learned that Santa's
autobiography was nine hours of listening, I couldn't believe it.
Santa Claus is, of course, quite a celebrity, but does anyone, even
the beloved saint, have that much to say about himself? I remained
open and boy, am I glad I did. By listening to Santa Claus tell his
story, I have learned more about the history of the world and America
than I ever dreamed possible. I also now know the origin of every
Christmas custom ever celebrated. What a clever and remarkable achievement
this story is. I am recommending it to every family I know.

Big Susan 55th Anniversary Edition Elizabeth Orton Jones Illustrated
by Elizabeth Orton Jones I am so happy to introduce you to a book
I adored as a child. To this day, my copy sits tattered and loved
on a bookshelf back home. My mother could never part with it, and
it has now survived countless readings to grandchildren. What a treat
to have a 55th anniversary edition available now for new generations
of children to enjoy. And what a special Christmas book -- perfect
for a family with children of various ages. Older children who can
read will enjoy it as a chapter book, and younger children will love
it because it is all about a dollhouse, a doll family and the human
child who cares for them.
A Christmas Carol and Other Favorites Jim Weiss In these 3 classic
stories, the listener learns, along with the characters, about human
compassion in wonderfully entertaining ways. The common link is the
perception of the holiday spirit as Christmas approaches. In Dickens'
"Christmas Carol," the most famous of holiday stories, a series of
ghostly spirits remind Ebeneezer Scrooge of the importance of caring
for others, not only at Christmastime, but throughout the year. In
O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi," a stunning surprise ending moves the
listener to grasp the depth that the spirit of giving can take us
humans. And in Bret Harte's lively tale of the California Gold Rush,
"Dick Spindler's Family Christmas," Weiss careens along with wild
humor, parading a host of marvelous characters past us. There are
extremes of laughter and tears on this extraordinary story tape. Don't
pass it by.
The Donkey's Christmas Song Nancy Tafuri Illustrated by Nancy
Tafuri An absolutely perfect first Christmas book, this gentle story
of animals visiting a swaddled Jesus is full of simple, softly colored
illustrations and quiet animal sounds. The animals individually file
up and welcome the Child with their own soft language, except for
the donkey, who is afraid his bray will be too loud. When he finally
can't help blurting out his noisy ''Hee-aw! Hee-aw!'' the unexpected
sound elicits a gurgling laugh from baby Jesus. Encouraged, the donkey
snuggles close to keep the baby warm and cozy. It is the donkey's
sweet presence that finally brings sleep to the Baby in the crib.
It will be a rare child who can resist the animals, their sounds,
and the curious, straw-filled bed and Child that were part of the
first Christmas. This is a very sweet book.
Draw Christmas Thumbprint Festive Art at your Fingertips This
little treasure contains proof that you can do a lot with your thumbs!
The Klutz folks have done it again with this entertaining little art
book that makes even non-artists like me look like budding Picassos!
The spiral-bound book contains lots of examples of festive art you
can create by using the included red and green ink pads, and there
are plenty of blank pages to make your own creations. You will see
how some thumbprints and a few little pen squiggles can create prancing
reindeer, snowmen, and, of course, Santa. Tuck a little inspiration
into someone's hands (thumbs?!) this holiday!
Mortimer's Christmas Manger Karma Wilson Illustrated by Jane Chapman
One day while Mortimer Mouse is looking for crumbs, he spots his dream
house on a table next to the Christmas tree. Climbing the tree, he
discovers a creche scene. The tiny mouse lugs the statues out, saying,
"There's no room for you here." Pulling the baby figurine out of his
bed, Mortimer curls up to sleep in the warm hay on the wooden bed.
Only later, in overhearing the family's story about the very first
Christmas, does he realize what the Nativity represents. After replacing
the figures, Mortimer sends up a prayer of his own, a surprise you
just have to see yourself! Jane Chapman's marvelous illustrations
truly capture Mortimer's personality. The story line is simple enough
to be understood by young children, but still appeal to older kids
as well. Mortimer's Christmas Manger is a holiday book to treasure
year after year.
The Little Fir Tree Margaret Wise Brown Illustrated by Jim Lamarche
Once there was a little fir tree growing all alone in an open field.
He was lonely being far away from the other trees of the forest. But
one day, a gentle man digs him up and brings him home so his little
lame son, who can't walk into the forest himself, can have a living
tree for Christmas. "You have come to me from the wild green forest,"
said the little boy. "And you are part of my very own world. You have
come to the great Celebration of Christmas." And what a celebration
it is. Each spring, the man takes the tree back to the field. One
winter, the tree waits and waits, but no one comes. That Christmas
is the most special of all because...
Room for a Little One A Christmas Tale Martin Waddell Illustrated
by Jason Cockcroft What a lovely jewel of a holiday book this is!
It is a cold winter's night, in a stable next to an inn. Old Dog needs
a place to rest, so Kind Ox invites him to sleep next to his warm
body in the hay. Stray Cat comes in and is afraid of Old Dog, but
he says he will not hurt her, so she lies down beside them. Small
Mouse creeps in, and, terrified by the cat's big eyes, quivers with
fear. But Stray Cat tells Small Mouse she is safe there. Kind Ox says
each time, "Come inside. There's always room for a little one here."
Then, late in the night, Tired Donkey arrives with a weary man and
woman by his side. "Come inside," Kind Ox calls again. The kindness
the animals pay to one another creates the perfect environment for
the Little One to be born. What a gift for our little ones, who are
just hearing the Christmas story for the first time, or for anyone
who treasures beauty and art. I don't believe I have ever seen such
glorious illustrations. They are filled with light and color and a
magical aura that invokes all the beauty and wonder of the first Holy
Night. A treasure!
