Top 10 Favorite Christmas Picture Books to Add to Your Christmas Reading Log
1. The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree: An Appalachian Story by Gloria Houston
Ruthie and her Papa find the perfect balsam tree up on the ridge. But before they can cut down the tree for the village, Papa has to go to the Great War across the sea. The Christmas season is hard without Papa, and Ruthie needs a dress to be an angel in the Christmas play. The illustrations of this Christmas picture book are beautiful, and the meaning of family and courage are woven together. I highly recommend this special book.
2. The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski
This sweet, heartwarming story is about a gruff widowed woodcarver, a widowed mom, and her eight-year-old son. The mom needs a nativity scene and seeks out the impatient and unapproachable woodcarver, Jonathan Toomey. The little boy becomes fascinated with the woodcarver’s skill and returns to watch him work. As Jonathan carves the nativity scene, his heart begins to soften, and the three share in the joy of Christmas and the power of love and kindness.
3. Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree by Robert E. Barry
Mr. Willowby is a wealthy man who buys a Christmas tree that is too large for his house. His butler trims the very top off. The top of this tree continues to be trimmed, shared and passed down to others. The delightful read is filled with whimsy and is a true delight to share with young children at Christmas.
4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
This book is a timeless holiday classic by the beloved children’s author, Dr. Seuss. Our grouchy, green cave-dwelling friend decides to steal the joy of Christmas from the holiday-loving Whos. But, it turns out Christmas joy is not in wrapped packages. I love how Dr. Seuss captures the whimsy of Christmas!
5. Night Tree by Eve Bunting
On Christmas Eve, a family ventures into the woods guided by moonlight to decorate their favorite tree with popcorn strings, apples, tangerines, and sunflower-seed ornaments for the woodland creatures to enjoy. This book led to a Christmas family tradition of decorating a tree around our home with DIY birdseed pine cone feeders.
6. Apple Tree Christmas by Trinka Hakes Noble
This sweet book is a beautiful, heartwarming story of the love between a father and his daughters. The family prepares for winter under the apple tree, picking and sorting apples. They seek the perfect apples for Christmas. An unfortunate winter storm leads to a Christmas blessing. Oh, I cannot tell you more, or I risk spoiling this story.
7. Mortimer’s Christmas Manger by Karma Wilson
Karma Wilson’s Bear books are a favorite in our home. Mortimer, the little brown mouse, discovers the real meaning of Christmas, and may it be my girls’ favorite Christmas book. I included it last because this Best Books to Read Around Christmas Booklist is a heavy one packed with powerful messages, but I could not leave our little friend Mortimer out.
8. The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
This beloved children’s book captures the magic of Christmas. There is just something about Christmas and trains. Late on Christmas Eve, a young boy boards a mysterious train while the town sleeps. There is a question of unbelief and a gift of a bell. I cannot tell you more without spoiling the story.
9. The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado
Joshua is a little lamb born with a crippled leg. He struggles to keep up with the rest of the flock. His best friend is a cow named Abigail. One day, the flock is adventuring to a new pasture to graze, and Joshua is left behind in the Bethlehem stable. This special story reminds us that God has a unique plan for His children.
10. An Orange for Frankie by Patricia Polacco
Every year Pa travels to Lansing to gather oranges for Christmas gifts for each family member. But the wintry weather makes it difficult for him to return and the family begins to worry. I love that the author writes from the inspiration of her childhood.
