Christmas Books

Mr. Rodrigue has done it again. "A Blue Dog Christmas" is not only filled with wonderful pictures of his newest Blue Dogs, but it is also a heartwarming story that brought back some of my own childhood holiday memories. It is a fantastic book for adults as well as children, good for bedtime reading.

This box set lists as "both Snowmen books." Not very helpful. The two books enclosed are Snowmen at Night, and Snowmen at Christmas. So don't make the mistake of ordering Snowmen At Christmas through amazon's "deal" portion of this webpage!

Anyhoo, these two books are WONDERFUL. The artwork is absolutely enthralling, and the rhyming stories are adorable. It tells the story of what snowmen do, after you go to bed, and after you go to bed at Christmas. The paintings are stunning, and include Mark Buehner's signature "hidden figures," ie, there are Santas, bunnies, and dinosaurs hidden in many of the paintings. This adds a fun dimension to an already wonderful set of books.

I highly recommend these two books, because they will captivate your child, and you will love to read such beautiful books to your child.

Truly a treasure.

I'm glad I read the review because I was hoping that it was a new "snowman book". I already have and absolutely love "snowmen at night" & "Christmas".i wish they'd write more! the illustrations are so beautiful.

What a great book. Read to my two boys age 4 and 6 and they were engrossed in this story of the boy Nicholas who's good deeds for others led to him becoming St Nicholas (Santa Claus). The holidays are a great time to teach kids about thinking of and giving to others and this book offers a great platform for doing just that.

"This is the first in a series of the "Nicholes Stories" childrens books. It is a tale about a boy named Nicholas, whose simple gift of love is seen by Angels, and his wish is a lasting reward that effects the world forever." These books will become cherished family traditions for the holidays.
"The Nicholas Stories have been designed to provide inspiration to young and old and is designed in content for all people of the world."
This book and the others that follow bridge the gap between the true meaning of Christmas and Saint Nicholas while reminding us all to live life with compassion, honesty and belief. I adored them and can't wait to read them to my grandchildren!!

My grandchildren and I enjoyed the book very much; it was a very heart warming story. We loved all the singing on the DVD. I highly recommend this book for the whold family.:: Linda Mendez; A big fan of Diane Zuber,Thank You.

An original story creatively written by Diane C. Zuber and deftly illustrated by Mary Meehan Firtl, "The Broken Doll" is a Christmas story for young children ages 4 to 9. It is the story of a family's love for each other having more importance than the presence of expensive toys under a Christmas tree. Young Audra begs for every toy she sees but due to her father's recent lay-off from work, the family doesn't have the money to buy toys this Christmas season. Over the weeks leading up to Christmas morning Audra is a little girl who learns several valuable lessons all culminating in having the best Christmas ever for her family and herself. "The Broken Doll" is a wonderfully entertaining addition to any school or community library's Christmas picturebook collection -- and has an entertainingly presented message that children can benefit from all year long.

Great fun for all ages; children and adults appreciate the photography, Santa's expressions, and Santa's message. Santa shares the message of the importance of being good . . . not only so he will visit but also to be considerate of others. Love both books, we are "collecting" the series and giving them as gifts!

Wonderful children's book and a nice compliment to another book produced last year ... arrived fine.

This is a very enjoyable book. Has a great message for kids and is fun for them to read.

We have kids and lots of books. This is must have. The kids love it, and we do too. Very well written and great illustrations. If we did not have kids I would have purchased it!

Jam-packed with creative, low-fat recipes, decorating tips and gift ideas, this unique cookbook by the author of the "Busy People's" series is handily organized into menus, complete with grocery lists, each listed according to various holiday meals. A "Menus at a Glance" section gives a great overview of all the dishes, making selection a breeze. With unique ideas, like edible gifts and a "Kids Birthday Party for Jesus," this is a time-saving holiday wonder.

Dawn Hall is a Christian author who has always had to watch her weight. These recipes are low in fat, easy, and delicious. They also make a nice presentation for guests. Highly recommend.

I desperately want to find a copy of this tape, my sisters and I loved it as little girls and we have lost our copy - it would mean a lot to us to get our hands on another one! If you have ANY info about how I could find it again... please post it!! thanks!!

I have not actually seen the book but do have the music cassette for A Cabbage Patch Christmas. My daughter (19) absolutely loves the music and we are in search of a another copy as ours is wearing out. The music also tells the true reason for the christmas season- Jesus.

Enthusiastically recommended for children ages 5 through 8, Calie's Gift is the story of an elderly woman and a group of schoochildren who form a special friendship in a small urban park. Every school day, Calie takes a recorder out of her ever-present shopping cart and blows tunes for the chldren of a nerby school. Over a period of months the elderly Calie shares her musical gifts to entertain the children during their daily lunch break. When Christmas comes, the children take their turn in showing their affection and appreciation for Calie by giving her a very special gift which reminds her of the true meaning of Christmas. The lovely artwork by Dean Vavak is a perfect showcase for Mardeline Arroyo's wonderfully charming story of friendship, the devine love of Jesus, and the Christmas season.

Our family loves this book. And it is perfect for the Christmas season. It also helps my children to value the true meaning of Christmas and not just the "getting presents" part of it.

This book is simply amazing. Everytime I read it with my 4-year old, we pick up something new in the illustrations. It is carefully crafted on a religious level to not be overly religious but the book picks up momentum as it progresses. My 4-year old (as well as me!) are constantly looking back at previous pages to see what we recognize in the newest scene. This is such a unique approach to the wonderful carols it illustrates. We originally got a copy out of the library but now own our own, a very well read copy.

The charming colorful artwork will warm your heart. At the bottom of most of the 34 pages, you will find the melody line in music notation, with lyrics & chord symbols of many carols, so you & your child can sing along together. A lovely Christmas book celebrating family, children & Christmas.
