Like last year we’ll have a book advent calendar, however, this year I managed to put together more Christmassy books than last year. And there are some surprises among the 24 books… read on to find out what they are.
I always go to second-hand toy shops which also offer English children books at a very low price. All through the year I’ve been collecting these books (some of them we had last year too) I wrapped them in red and green paper and stacked them up like a Christmas tree:
Here is the list of the books:
- Dear Santa
- A busy Christmas (board book)
- Mr Men – 12 Days of Christmas
- Mr Christmas
- Little Miss Christmas
- Here comes and Angel
- Dora Starry Christmas
- The Manger
- The Gingerbread Man (Ladybird)
- The Nutcracker (Usborne)
- Snappy Little Christmas (pop-up book)
- Reindeer- a Christmas Story
- Clifford’s First Christmas
- Maisy makes gingerbread
- The very first Christmas (Beginner’s Bible)
- The night before Christmas
- A Christmas Hug (Marks and Spencer)
I also included books on some of E.’s favourite topics:
- The Little Brainwaves investigate… The Human Body
- It’s so unfair (illustrated by Jonathan Allen – author of I’m not reading, I’m not cute, I’m not scared)
- I like it when… (Mary Murphy)
And 2 books in Hungarian
- Zelk Zoltán: Karácsonyi ének
- Télország (Lili és Lala versei)
And the surprise books … on a new born baby
- The New baby
- Za-za’s baby brother (by Lucy Cousins)
