I don't think anything can get more cozy than to gather on the learning rug to read a story on a cold December day before the Winter Break begins. Even here in North Florida where the weather can be 78 degrees one day and 50 degrees the next (which is pretty chilly by Florida standards)!
Here are my classroom favorites that I read (and reread) at this time every year.
A Wish to Be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe
The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie De Paola
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Kwaanza by Rex Perry
I Have a Little Dreidel by Maxie Baum
Twas The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore
(I love the illustrations in this one by Cheryl Harness)
The Wild Christmas Reindeer by Jan Brett
And a new favorite counting book that I just discovered last week:
Christmas For 10 by Cathryn Falwell

Happy Holidays,

I am honored that you located a link to your book on my blog! I am also a big fan of "Feast for 10"
My Kinders truly loved your book. It was our focus book for an entire week and I used it to expand into great classroom writing activities.
Happy Holidays!
