The Advent Jesse Tree
We've been using this book for our Advent Jesse Tree devotion starting from December 1. Although it has been a challenge to have both Daniel and James sit, follow directions, and pay attention for 20 minutes, the book has helped me a lot by having scriptures, devotions, and even hymns for each day all in the same place.
A very sweet Christmas story that made me cry while reading it to my boys. We just read it for a second time tonight (Christmas Eve) while peeling and eating oranges, and it made my eyes moist again.
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
A simple yet beautiful and heartwarming story. Love the illustration too. I bought a copy, either to keep or to give away as a gift.
This is the Star
Read like a poem, constructed like "This is the house that Jack built". Very nice artwork too.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
We had the movie before I bought the book (both were from library book sale or garage sale, I believe), so we had watched the movie before read the book. The movie did a pretty good job capturing the spirit of the book, but, not surprisingly we still found the book more enjoyable than the movie. It took me about a week to finish the read-aloud (one chapter a day).
The Light at Tern Rock
A beautiful story that keep you in suspense till the last chapter.
Thanks for sharing Daixin, I will have to remember to get those books to read to my little one when she's old enough to enjoy books. =)
ReplyDeletePS - had your lemon tart for breakfast... sooo yummy, thanks again!
Hmm, what a sweet picture that will be--holding and reading to your little baby girl... You might be surprised that babies as young as 3-4 month old can enjoy books read to them.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you like my lemon bar.
