The LEGO Christmas Ornament Book by Chris McVeigh
Yes, you read that right - a book that gives you the directions for making LEGO ornaments! You just need to have all of the pieces handy. If you're like me, I'd say the color doesn't matter so much as long as it is the right size and shape. There are actually a couple of books too, so you can really get into creating.
The Christmas Story : The Brick Bible for Kids by Brenden Powell Smith
Keeping with the LEGO theme, here is the Christmas story told through LEGO scenes and minifigures. It is really quite fun and clever. If you have a child into LEGOs they might sit down and listen to the story.
National Geographic Kids Weird but True Christmas
NatGeo has many Weird but True books and this one focuses on Christmas and weird but true facts from around the world. For instance "In Caracas, Venezuela, it's tradition to roller-skate to church on Christmas Day". If you're going to be in Caracas on Christmas, don't be left out - bring your skates.
The Night Baa-Fore Christmas by Dawn Young
It is Christmas Eve and Bo can't sleep, so he calls on the sheep. Ohhh that's a mistake. The sheep are thirsty and hungry and cause all kinds of trouble. How can Bo get his present if the sheep are making a mess. This is a delightfully quirky bedtime book and counting book.
Memoirs of an Elf by Devin Scillian
It is Christmas Eve and an elf named Bobbin has a story to tell. It starts normal enough with Bobbin taking selfies in front of the sleigh before the big trip, but it doesn't take long for things to go wonky. They actually, accidently take someone's dog! OH NO! Scillian is the king of Memoirs books (the Goldfish will always be my favorite). If you haven't read his others, check them out.
Santa : A Bingo Book by Cassie Veselovsky
Yes, of course I had to include a book by me! Santa seemed fitting, though I could have included Five Rowdy Reindeer. Both could be considered quirky. In any case, I chose Santa because I am very proud of that book. I love the simple story it conveys and the rhymes work really well. If you enjoy singing the Bingo song (there was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name-o), then give Santa a try!
Tough Cookie by Edward Hemingway
A twist on the Gingerbread Man, Tough Cookie is fresh out of the bakery running as fast as he can and he is caught by the fox. Turns out this sugar cookie doesn't taste so delicious though. What is a fox and cookie to do? Read this and then make some cookies!
Just One Flake by Travis Jonker
Liam wants to catch just one perfect flake on his tongue. He tries all sorts of creative ways. Will he be successful? You will laugh and probably also get some ideas to try yourself!
