The following is a list of my 6 favorite holiday picture books, which I own and hope to share with any grandchildren I may have in the future:
Christmas Tree! by Wendell and Florence Minor - Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes and can be found in almost any setting, but there is only one "best" Christmas tree.
Christmas Tree Memories by Aliki - Family members admire the ornaments on their Christmas tree and share their memories of previous holidays as evoked by the ornaments.
Good King Wenceslas, illustrated by Jamichael Henterly - An illustrated version of the English Christmas carol about the generous king.
Little Tree by e.e. cummings - The poet/individualist's ode to a small tree decorated for Christmas and proud to receive admiring attention.
Mouse's First Christmas by Lauren Thompson, illustrated by Buket Erdogen - While exploring the house on Christmas Eve, a little mouse discovers the tree, a candy cane, a stocking, a jingle bell, and Santa Claus.
Santa Mouse by Michael Brown, illustrated by Elfrieda DeWitt - Santa gives a nameless mouse a special gift for Christmas.
