“ Christmas Wish ” by Lori Evert (this is a new book that has received many fine reviews from critics and readers, Pfledderer notes.)Įrin Spicer, Youth Services Manager, Allen Public Library said her three favorites are: “ Madeline’s Christmas ” by Ludwig Bemelmans The third is a new book but a very well-received story,” she said. It’s a great book to teach how Christmas is about all of us.Ĭynthia Pfledderer, Librarian, Southlake Public Library recommended three books, the first two of which “have seen a lot of use in our library and are considered classics. It’s a great story about how society and its traditions should be a reflection of all of us. “ An Angel Just Like Me ” by Mary Hoffman and illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu – I discovered this story when I was a children’s librarian in South Dallas. “ Auntie Claus ” written and illustrated by Elise Primavera – This is an Auntie-Mame-meets-Santa-Claus story that engages the imagination, and the illustrations are beautiful. Plus, if you’re a dog lover, this is a fun story.
“ Olive, the Other Reindeer ” by Vivian Walsh and illustrated by J.Otto Siebold – A cute story about how the littlest and most unlikely member of a team can contribute. Schindler – This is a great story about how one of the world’s most beloved characters wasn’t perfect but kept trying until he found the perfect job for himself. “ How Santa Got His Job ” by Stephen Krensky and illustrated by S. Sharon Martin, Director, University Park Public Library said the following four books are great for teaching, gifting or reading on a cold winter day. We asked librarians from around Dallas-Fort Worth what kids gravitate toward in the library, and they directed us to some of the following books to help your family celebrate the season.

Video games, iPads and TV are often the preferred options for fun-and dominate the Christmas wish lists little ones have-but we want to give you some good holiday book options for kids. With all the technology available to us, it can sometimes be difficult for kids to want to read.
