If you're like me this year, with eight days to Christmas, you're still scrambling to finish gifting.
Here are some of the favorite books at our house to get your book giving spirit going and help you finish your list!
Board Books:
CAVEMAN A B.C. STORY
This is not your average alphabet book. This one tells a story in 26 words. Even our ten-year-old likes to read CAVEMAN and it's a hands down favorite for potty training our two-year-old.
BIG CHOMP
Picture Books (Do you call these a series?):
PETE THE CAT, ELEPHANT & PIGGIE, FANCY NANCY
Chapter Books:
Boy: DRAGON SLAYERS ACADEMY
Girl: Is your Fancy Nancy lover too old for picture books? Have no fear, Jane O'Connor saved the day with NANCY CLANCY chapter books.
Family Read Aloud:
THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER AND A TALE DARK AND GRIM
Middle Grade:
THE EVER AFTERS, MAY B (perfect for Little House on the Prairie lovers), and RUMP
UPPER MIDDLE GRADE:
Two series my ten-year-old absorbed this year: REDWALL and THE JANITORS
What books are you giving to the little people in your life? Any favorites my family missed?
Have my e-copy of Janitors and love it. Great suggestions Robin.
ReplyDeleteI got my youngest nephew, who's in second grade, the entire Spiderwick Chronicles series bound in one huge hardback. I think he's going to be tickled over receiving such a BIG book.
ReplyDeleteI got my older nephew, who's in eighth grade, the Beyonders series by Brandon Mull.
As for my daughters, I didn't get them any books. They have a long wishlist of books for their Kindles, and I left that list alone so aunts and grandparents could have their pick of them.
My son absolutely loved Elephant and Piggie. He brought everyone home from his school library. Not anymore cause he's in 4th grade, but my first grader likes them now too.
ReplyDeleteSo many favorites up there. My daughter begged for every book from Shadow Mountain's Proper Romance line. When I told her there were only 3 so far and she already owned 2 of them, she pouty-faced. Guess what book's wrapped for her under the tree? :)
ReplyDeleteWould you believe it if I told you we have half of the books you listed here? Yep. It's true. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! :)
