Christmas Books for Children |

Publishing September 2010 For Timothy Bear, counting the days down to Christmas is full of excitement! At school there is the nativity play to get ready; at home there are decorations to put up, Christmas cards to write and tasty Christmas treats to prepare. It's no wonder Timothy sometimes finds himself daydreaming - floating through time and space, spinning but never dizzy, speeding but never frightened, until he lands with the slightest bump right in the middle of another adventure. Vickie Howie, Krisztina Kallai Nagy Long ago, in the Church of St Nicholas in Oberndorf in Austria, Joseph Mohr wrote the words to the Christmas carol, 'Silent Night'. The music was composed by his friend Franz Gruber, to be played on a guitar... because mice had eaten through the organ bellows! This is the beautiful story of the mice that inspired the writing and singing of the famous song, imaginatively told by Vicki Howie and illustrated in a way that will delight young children by Hungarian-born Kriszta Nagy Kallai. Silent Night is ideal for Children ages 5-7.
Su Box This fun sticker book contains the unfolding Bible stories of Christmas plus a backdrop on to which children can apply appropriate stickers, chosen from the sticker sheet in the middle of the book. Hours of interactive fun conclude with two handmade picture books. This book makes an ideal gift from parents, grandparents or godparents, or as a gift or prize from church or Sunday School. Christmas Sticker Collection is ideal for children aged 5-7.
'Along the road, along the road, the road to Christmas Day...' A book filled with rich and vibrant colours, we follow Ben as he travels along the road to Christmas Day and witnesses the amazing events that unfold. Jan Godfrey uses an soothing, gentle rhythm to follow from the first visit of the angel to Mary, all the way to the wise men spreading the exciting news of Jesus' birth. A perfect gift that young children will want to read again and again.
Using simple yet effective visuals, Play and Pray through Advent brings to life the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, his early years and the beginning of his ministry, making it interesting and engaging for all the family, especially with children ages 5-7. With simple guidelines, it couldn't be easier to explore the themes week-by-week at home, or through midweek groups and clubs at church. Like its popular sister book, Play and Pray Through Lent, you have the chance to use story cloths, song, and get messy with crafts, all while helping children learn more about the Advent and Christmas story.
The Christmas Baby uses simple but effective language and beautiful illustrations to captivate young minds, taking them through the story of Jesus' birth and everything surrounding it. As well as the story, there are 24 lift-the-flap windows which can be used as an Advent calendar, and a pop-out scene to be displayed on Christmas day. It's Christmas Eve, the snow is falling and the lovable scruffy dog named 'Christmas' has gone missing. Two children search desperately for the little hound, asking people where they can find Christmas. When they find their canine companion, they also find the real meaning of Christmas. Celebrate Christmas by making cards and wrapping paper, decorations, an Advent calendar, Christmas party masks and gifts for the baby king as you tell the story of the birth of Jesus in an interactive way. Complete with tracing guides and activity sheets, this is a fun way of bringing to life the familiar tale of the nativity. Photocopy permission, Bible craft tips and Bible references are included. Stocking fillers A giant board book - with a twist! This simple book of Bible stories will delight toddlers with hours of fun as they complete the pictures to tell the story. Very young children can take an active part in the storytelling, turning the wheel to choose the right pictures to match the short stories. |
