Our top 3 Christmas books of today are for the smallest mini-monsters, aged 3 - 4 years. All three books are nice and thick cardboard books, which can withstand those eager toddler hands. The order is random, choosing from these three books would be way too difficult. All three are very cheery, funny and sweet, otherwise they wouldn't be in our top 3! ;))
In Duck & Goose, Goose wants to do all kinds of fun winter things, like catching snowflakes; sleighing; making a snow goose and ice skating, for example. But duck keeps saying: it's not the time to do these things because...it's Christmas time! Cute, sweet and glittery, 3 golden stars!
Gnome Thijm wants to trim the Christmas tree pretty and all his little animal friends bring something beautiful to put on the tree. There is still 1 thing missing, what would that be? Thijm returns with a little candle and then the Christmas tree shines from afar! Sweet, soft and a rhyming text, 3 golden stars!
In Peppa's Christmas Jumper Day, tomorrow is Christmas Jumper Day at school. Papa Pig finds last year's jumpers, but the have become way too small. Peppa and George have grown so much! Peppa may have daddy's sweater, but of course it's way too big! Fortunately, Peppa's daddy gets a very good idea just in time! 3 golden stars!
All three books are a great success here, each in their own way. The children love to look at them and we read them to them with pleasure. The length of the stories is just right for young listeners, they don't have too much patience. These Christmas books are colourful, cheerful and festive and also brilliantly illustrated. Two are only available in English, 1 only in Dutch, but that shouldn't spoil the Christmas fun.
3 shiny golden stars for snazzie's Christmas top 3 of 2021!
