Advertorial feature
Just like last year, we are enjoying a book advent calendar this December. Don’t worry we still have a chocolate one too. I love our book one though and so do my children. I have a box of 24 Christmas children’s books and each night I wrap one in some festive fabric and leave it under the tree. The girls love discovering the book each morning. The books are some we’ve collected over the years and some from our local library. We’ve also been sent these lovely new books from some publishers this year.
I have included links to the books on both the UK and US Amazon for your convenience. Please note if you buy through these links, I will get a small commission. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate links are marked with a *.

The Christmas unicorn, Anna Currey
My two are still massive fans of unicorns. This is a lovely Christmas book that they love. Millie meets a unicorn just days before Christmas. This, in turn, brings her friendship and happiness. A beautifully illustrated Christmas book that any unicorn fan will love. Available to * buy now.
Pick a pine tree, Patricia Toht, Jarvis
Pick a pine tree is a beautifully illustrated book that we adore. Written in rhyme this is a lovely story about choosing a tree and decorating it for Christmas. Available to * buy now.
Snow Still, Holly Surplice
This is a simply beautiful Christmas book for toddlers. The illustrations are gorgeous and each page only has a couple of worlds. Snow white, snow slide. This is the story of a little fawn discovering snow for the first time. Available to * buy here.
The tree that’s meant to be, Yuval Zommer
A little fir tree is a little too imperfect. At Christmas, all the trees in the forest get taken home to be decorated for Christmas but not the little fir tree. A group of forest animals though gather round an decorate it with natural finds to celebrate the season. We love the illustrations and the message behind the story, you are perfect just as you are. Available to * buy now.
Mouse’s night before Christmas, Tracey Corderoy, Sarah Massini
we love the night before Christmas book so it will come as no surprise that we love this super sweet retelling of the classic story. The illustrations are adorable too. Just like the classic, this book is written in rhymes that just roll off the fun. Available to * buy now.
Winnie and Wilbur meet Santa, Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul
We love Winnie and Wilbur at our house. We regularly read new books from this series at our local library. As soon as I discovered there is a Christmas Winnie and Wilbur adventure, I knew that my girls would love it. Winnie is preparing for Christmas but on Christmas Eve, Santa gets stuck in the chimney and Winnie needs to help him deliver all the gifts in time. This lovely book has the usual colourful and detailed illustrations and is packed with funny antics like crashing into cakes and getting tangled in fairy light. I know that we are going to enjoy reading this book each December for many years to come. Available to * buy now from Amazon.
The Turkey that voted for Christmas, Madeline Cook, Samara Hardy
The animals of Pear Tree Farm love to vote and in this book, they are voting for Christmas, only turkeys never vote for Christmas except for Timmy Turkey. Timmy longs to celebrate Christmas and sets about campaigning for Christmas. I love that there are lots of jokes for adults scattered throughout the book too. The illustrations are lovely too. Available to buy now from Amazon.
Walking in a winter wonderland, Richard Smith, Felix Bernard and Tim Hopgood
This is another beautifully illustrated book based on the classic song Walking in a winter wonderland by Peggy Lee. There is also an accompanying CD with a recording of the song as well as a read through of the book and an interactive listening game. The illustrations are colourful and inviting for young children. A beautiful book that both my girls adore. Available to buy now from Amazon
