I am looking for ideas of books for Christmas. My family asked if I could make a list for them to get Jack and I am drawing a blank. What are some of your favorites that you read to your little one??
The If You Give A... series (Ex: If You Give A Pig A Pancake, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, etc)
Someone gave us "On The Night You Were Born". There are 2 polar bears dancing on the cover. It is a beautiful book that made me cry the first time I read it!
"Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch (beautiful, beautiful book. Makes me cry every time I read it).
"I Already Know I Love You" by Billy Crystal (great book for a grandparent to a grandchild).
The Beatrice Potter "Peter Rabbit" book set. Comes in an adorable case and the books are little, which children will love. Plus, looks nice on a shelf until they are old enough to appreciate them.
"How The Grinch Stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss
"Twas The Night Before Christmas" is a nice tradition to read to your child Christmas Eves. My family's favorite tradition.
