Christmas Picture Books


Happy Release Week for Hooray, It's Three Kings Day .


šŸŽ„

I miss how we used to build a tiny village under the tree with flowing water and include all the important nativity figures.


šŸŽ

I always loved the 3 kings and always remembered celebrating Day 6 of January with our Portuguese King Cake, which is a very tasty cake with fruit.


Like Santa leaves gifts on the 24th (December) night, the Kings leave on the 5th (January).



ā¤ļø

This book explains well what Kings Day is and even includes extra info at the end with a glossary.

šŸ‘‰A happy Merry Christmas Zoo is a beautiful, well-illustrated picture book filled with detail and holiday joy.


šŸ‘‰ title with texture on the cover, pages well designed, and text readable


šŸ‘‰ Creative Christmas at the zoo for all the animals


Amazing pages with artwork, work, and active verbs for each animal eg: Chimpanzees bounce, Leopards leap-pounce.


šŸ‘‰ the zoo staff celebrate with the animals in many zoos of our planet. Zookeepers work with veterinarians and nutritionists to come up with the healthiest and best gifts


šŸ„°If you would like to participate, contact your local zoo and check what they need (volunteers, materials)






Do you know this series? 12 Elves in different states? This is a fun one. This one is in Georgia, the Peach State.


The elves visit iconic landmarks, and we get a general idea of each state. The snow on the cover has a sparkling texture. Fun. Very fun double-page illustrations. So that's where the Coca-Cola museum is. Learned something today.



This makes me want to illustrate our neighborhood/or street/or school as a book by having the kids contribute with things that are relevant to describe their home.


@familiusbooksFun elves thank you for the copy.



5 šŸŒŸ THE WONDERFUL ONCE


Thank you, artist and author, for the diversity in the artwork. We have a great representation of different races. A very classical Christmas amazing story, of sharing, and joy in a season of love and taking care of each other.


This one has more text than the other series, and it's a great book to collect. The Spirit of Giving is an amazing character. I love the magic realism of this book. She takes Lucas to see the elves and their workshop and presents him to the reindeer to make his dream come true: to give every child a toy. What's his name? Lucas Astan... Santa Claus. Marvelous.


A Wonderful Once is an award-winning story. Appeals to all ages.Ā @thewonderfulonce
