A favorite for tween readers is Christmas in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. This short tale from the famed “Little House” series focuses on Laura’s winter in Wisconsin and how she helps her family get ready for Christmas.
Every child knows about Santa Claus, the jolly man who brings gifts to all on Christmas. There are many stories that tell of his life, but the delightful version relayed in The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is by far the most charming and original of all. Only L. Frank Baum, the man who created the wonderful Land of Oz, could have told Santa's tale in such rich and imaginative detail.
Snowbears Christmas Countdown The month of December is full of joyful anticipation for Snowbear—there are just so many things to do before Christmas arrives. For starters, Snowbear must put up decorations, buy gifts for his friends, make hot chocolate and cookies, and—let’s not forget—play in the snow and ride his sleigh!
The Polar Express-On Christmas Eve a young boy who truly believes in Santa Claus is invited to board the Polar Express--a train that brings him and other young believers directly to the North Pole. Once there, the boy is chosen by Santa himself to receive the very first gift of the Christmas season. The gift the boy selects, a bell from the harness of one of Santa's reindeers, becomes a magical reminder of the boy's very special night.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is by Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss creates the fictional town of Who-ville. He uses the kids' book to teach the true meaning of Christmas. Every Christmas the citizens of Who-ville exchange presents eat a feast and sing Christmas carols. This happens Christmas after Christmas to the joy of the townspeople. There is one person who doesn’t feel the joy. He is the Grinch. The Grinch lives in a cave on Mt. Crumpit. The dog, Max, is his only friend.
