An armful of Christmas books:
At the top of the kids' list of favorites was definitely Olive, the Other Reindeer... as well as the movie that went along with it. About a cute little dog names Olive who thought the lyrics of the song went "Olive the other reindeer" instead of "All of the other reindeer". Olive saves Christmas when one of Santa's reindeer isn't able to fly on Christmas Eve. The book and movie are slightly different but both very cute.
Another book that we found a movie to go with was Jan Brett's The Wild Christmas Reindeer. We love Jan Brett, and this was okay... but just couldn't hold a candle to Olive in the kids' eyes.
Sweet Little Mouse warmed our hearts in a couple of Diana Hendry's books.
And Max Lucado's The Crippled Lamb was my favorite and the kids' probably second favorite. Max is brilliant. I'm quickly discovering that. I've recently put several of his books on my own to-read list on Goodreads. This is an excellent story about how God has a plan for all of us, even if we can't see it.
A couple books about how animals survive the winter months and the simple joy of snow for kids.
A small stack of some mostly non-Christmas books. LOTS of Fly Guy. A couple new Mo Willems Elephant & Piggie books. A couple of Mercer Mayer's Little Critter books. In other words, an excellent stack for the week!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
So sweet.
