Advent Books

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Hermey the elf are simple misfits in Santa's Christmastown. They set off together and manage to find others who also are unique individuals, e.g., Yukon Cornelius, the toys of the Island of Misfit Toys, and the Abominable Snowman ("Bumbles Bounce!"). You will see all the great characters from the classic TV program (with the exception of the Burl Ives narrating snowman). Sit back and read this little book to your favorite kids. It's a happy Christmas story of acceptance and love.

My 4 year old watched the classic Rudolph movie, and immediately wanted a book of the movie that we could read together. I am glad it was available through Amazon. She enjoyed it immensely. There wasn't an overload of words which could lose most preschoolers, and the story is true to the movie. It's a cliff-note version of course, but your little Rudolph fan will enjoy it all the same.

I purchased this product for my son who is now 25 years old. He and another son of mine had the author for their teacher while in elementary school. They remembered parts of the story of Rudy the Steam Engine and were delighted that it had been published. They can now pass on the story that one of their favorite teachers has written to their children one day.

The story of Rudy the Steam Engine is a simple but heartwarming story of an old steam engine's determination to help the children who love him.
Looking for a new book for your child to read? Need a Chrismas present? I highly reccomend this book! Christmas stories with trains never seem to get old!

This book was written with belly laughs in mind for the Christmas season. The zany illustrations fit perfectly with the great writing. Kids of all ages will be happy to find this book in their stocking!

I bought this book because my family loves the water and boating. The book is well written and fun for all ages. It's a delightful "tall tale" of Christmas on board as told by the salty first mate. I highly recommend "Sailors Night Before Chirstmas" to anyone, young or just young at heart who ever wondered, just how does Santa get to people on boats. Reading this Christmas story just might become one of our family's holiday traditions.

I was immediately drawn to this book since my sister gave me my middle name after her favorite saint, Saint Francis. The illustrations are beautiful, an important factor for those of us with young children since they will be more apt to enjoy a book with detailed pictures. The story is told by Saint Francis to the donkey to help him understand his place in the world. It provides parents a perfect opportunity to discuss how harmful pride can be and how God has given each of us a reason for living. The tale includes an explanation of the creation of the animals and why the donkey was chosen to carry Mary to Bethlehem. In the afterword, the author has also included a mini-biography of St. Francis and an annotated bibliography. A selection you must have to add to your Christmas reading traditions.

I bought this last year for my grandson. He loved it. He turned it over and looked for a gold sticker. He thought surely it had won an award. It has beautiful pictures of Assisi, and combines the story of creation with the Christmas story. I am now buying a copy for our church.

If you want a book that is filled with fantastic images and a story to captivate any Childs mind for minutes (That's a lot of time for a child you know, Parents understand this completely) Best way to satisfy a child and parent this Christmas! The illustrations are breathtaking and the story will blow your mind and crack you up.
MAKE SURE TO MARK THIS AS BUY ON YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST THIS YEAR!!!

Santa and Me is a beautifully illustrated children's book, with a fun look at Santa and his family. My daughter Gabi loved the illustrations and I myself found the book greatly entertaining. Every time I read the book to her we find something new hidden in it. I would suggest this to any parent looking for a fun new read with their child.

What a darling story for children (parents & grandparents) at the precious Christmas time of year. The poetry is smooth and grabs the attention of young ones, while bringing both Santa with presents and the birth of Christ to the audience. So rare today, combining both themes in a positive light. This short book will be packed with all of our favorite Christmas things, coming out just after Thanksgiving!

Our kids love Santa and hearing about how he brings toys at Christmas, but we want them to remember the true meaning of Christmas and this book is great for tying the two together. It is written entirely in verse, which our kids like, and is a quick enough read for even our 2-year-old to stay interested. I plan to give copies to friends for Christmas.

Read this to the five-year-old twice already, and expect to r3ead it lots more. The ten year old was delighted: she joined us and reread the book when we were done.

Recommended. You got to love those cows.

Those loveable Santa Cows take their human friends on a magic carpet ride to the islands! Tropical fun to keep the holiday spirit alive. You'll love the whole Santa Cow Series!

i really enjoyed the book and i can hardly wait until the next one comes out. i have 9 santa paws books

I bought this for my Grandaughter's 10th Birthday. She enjoys the Santa Paws Books by Kris Edwards and especially liked this one. I would recommend all of the books.

This is one of the best Christmas stories for children that you will ever encounter. Santa is an old man named Nicholas, and his son and grandson share the name. It is also a family duty, as when the current Santa retires, his son will take the job. However, grandson Nick has a difficult time controlling the sleigh and the travel is very hard on his stomach. Also, Nick has a poor relationship with the reindeer, especially Donner, who kicks him at every opportunity. Therefore, it has already been decided that his twin sister Marcia will take over the Santa duties when the time comes.
The story opens with the sleigh returning to the North Pole devoid of Santa. Somehow he is lost and unable to contact anybody. He fell out of the sleigh, bumped his head and now has a case of amnesia. Fortunately, it is the Christmas season, so a fat man in a red suit doesn't attract all that much attention.
Nick and Marcia fly the sleigh around looking for Santa, while Santa wanders around trying to determine who he is. Naturally, he ends up working as a Santa in a store, but that quickly becomes a problem as he is not every good at it. Eventually, Nick and Marcia do find him and after some difficulties, his memory is restored.
There are so many humorous twists on the classic Santa stories that it cannot fail to amuse children. Some of the antics of the reindeer in demonstrating their dislike of Nick are very funny. I strongly encourage you to have your children read this book during the next Christmas season.

The adventures of Nick Martin, which starts with Linda Ford's Santa Claus, Inc., continues with Santa, S.O.S.

Nick Martin and his twin sister frantically search for Santa (their grandfather) when the sleigh and reindeer return one day without him. This delightfully fun tale will please both young and older readers. Also, be sure not to miss The Santa Solution, the third installment in Ford's terrific Santa stories.

Each of my children had a copy and wore them out. It is a wonderful holiday gift and a good interactive story for all preschoolers and toddlers. Each child should have their own copy.

My daughter wore the pages off this book as a toddler. It is fun and interactive. I am purchasing a book for my 2 year old nephew and another copy for our home. This is a great gift book for your child or grandchild.
