    1. Oh Kristi, it's so hard to pick. I love Jane Ray's The Story of Christmas, beautiful illustrations with the King James version of the Christmas story. We always read Tomie dePaola's pop-up book, The First Christmas, as a family. My new favorite is Manger, a Lee Bennet Hopkins anthology of poems written from the perspective of the animals. I'll Be Home for Christmas by Holly Hobbie captures perfectly that longing we all have to be with family and friends this time of year. Yesterday we sang our way through Bruce Whatley's illustrated version of Here Comes Santa Claus. And I must add B is for Bethlehem by Isabel Wilner and beautifully illustrated by Elisa Kleven. And that just scratches the surface because the books on the table are just "some" of my collection.
