Christmas Reading

19 yrs ago I worked in a school nursery and loved getting out the boxes of picture storybooks appropriate to the coming season and decorating the room likewise. I have done this at home ever since. 



The arrival of the 'new season's' books down from the loft was always exciting. 

Percy Park Keeper/Brambly Hedge/Old Bear/Shirley Hughes/Kipper all lend themselves perfectly. (See the sections on Favourite Books, Unit Studies) I guess this update is about missing those favourites and adopting new, more grown-up, titles and traditions. The 13 Days of Christmas/Christmas Carol/The Christmas Mystery have taken their place. 


I recently saw on Pinterest a book advent calendar ~ wrap up 

12 or 24 books in Christmas paper and snuggle up to read the mystery book each day.

 Why not start a new reading tradition for your family this year?
