Two Christmas breaks and Holiday Reads
By Library Romp - 6:58 PM
But amidst all this, we are still enjoying the countdown and settling down each day for our Christmas reads. And Scrabble has become popular with Gimp One & Gimp Two (HK &C)
‘Tis the reads of the season…..
A Wish to be a Christmas Tree
By Monroe, Colleen
Let me introduce our newest book addition. When one sad fir tree isn’t chosen for a Christmas tree, his woodland friends make him feel important by making him a Christmas tree. Through beautiful images it’s about true meaning of friendship.
Some of our activities
Painting pinecones and sprinkling with glitter.
Reindeer soup
(Hot chocolate, Kisses, sprinkles, marshmallows, stirred with a candy cane)
The Nutcracker
By Davidson, Susanna
The splendid Nutcracker story told on a younger child’s level and filled with vibrant illustrations. Goes along perfect with Nutcracker activities and the ballet.
If You Take a Mouse to the Movies
By Numeroff, Laura
This picture book is very similar to If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Pig a Pancake, but with a Christmas theme. A laugh out loud story of events starting with a mouse going the movies, leading to popcorn, decorating Christmas trees, and so forth. Timing of this read is fitting with how one thing leads to another, and today will end with reading The Giving Tree and stringing popcorn.
King Hugo’s Big Ego
By Van Dusen, Chris
Follow this funny rhyme and see King Hugo’s head swell with each boast. With bright and attractive pictures your little ones can’t wait to turn each page to see what happens next. A simple lesson of modesty.
