Christmas Book Giveaway!

Oh - I love Christmas.  I love books.  I love reading.  I love giving things away!

ZonderKidz has been so kind to send me some books to review and give away! 

Today I am offering up two fantastic books just in time for Christmas!  These will be great for the little ones in your life!

Who Was There on Christmas Night?  
by Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton
illustrated by Buket Erdogan

Little Man was enchanted by the sweet rhymes and colorful illustrations.  He was delighted at the interactive wheel included in the story.  I love that this board book introduces concepts and participants of the first Christmas.  This book is perfect for toddlers through kindergarten.  What a fantastic book!  You can purchase this book here if you would like!

We Believe in Christmas
by Karen Kingsbury
illustrated by Daniel Brown

From the jacket:

'If we want the perfect star to shine upon our tree, look and see that Brightest Star and there will Christmas be."

On Christmas we give and get presents, we sing songs, and we decorate our homes.  But what is Christmas really about?  Is our happy holiday a Holy Day?

Find out why we place the star on the Christmas tree.  Imagine Christmas guests as travelers of long ago.  And let  beautiful song "Silent Night" fill your mind with pictures of the night Jesus was born.  Because Christmas is God's gift to us - and if we look around and remember, we'll learn to see the real Christmas.

This endearing story by bestselling novelist Karen Kingsbury will capture the hearts of children, and parents and grandparents will appreciate the applications they can share.

I absolutely loved this story.  It is definitely not suited for toddlers.  Little Man was more interested in trying to eat the book than listen to the story.  Amazon lists the age range as being 4 - 7.  I know the younger ones can still benefit from the story, however the older ones will more easily grasp the concepts.

This is a great book of discovery and of looking at the world differently for little ones.  Kingsbury helps these children grasp the real meaning of Christmas in a way that relates it to their lives.  You can purchase this book here if you would like.
