The Gift of the Christmas Cookie by Dandi Daley Mackall
- It’s the Christmas season during a time when people had little money to spend. Cookie jars held pennies, not Christmas cookies. So when Jack smells something delicious coming from the kitchen, he can’t believe his nose. Cookies! But his excitement turns to disappointment when he learns the cookies aren’t for him. Instead, Mother is baking them for the needy people at their church. While Jack helps roll out the dough, his mother tells him the legend of the Christmas cookie.
One Shining Star by Anne Vittur Kennedy
- Help your child learn to count using the most beloved story of all—Jesus’ birth! With gentle rhyme and number fun from 1 to 10, this book is full of shepherds, kings, angels, animals, a baby, and a shiny star, all waiting to be counted before bedtime.
We Believe in Christmas by Karen Kingsbury
- “If we want the perfect star to shine upon our tree, Look and see that Brightest Star, and there will Christmas be.” On Christmas we give and get presents, we sing songs, and we decorate our homes. But what is Christmas really about? Is our happy holiday a Holy Day? Find out why we place the star on the Christmas tree. Imagine Christmas guests as travelers of long ago. And let the beautiful song “Silent Night” fill your mind with pictures of the night Jesus was born. Because Christmas is God’s gift to us—and if we look around and remember, we’ll learn to see the real Christmas. This endearing story by bestselling novelist Karen Kingsbury will capture the hearts of children. Parents and grandparents will appreciate the applications they can share.
