What My Child is Reading!


We have reading some spectacular Christmas books this week.

First up Lucille's Snowsuit by Kathryn Lasky.

Now I must admit that I have not yet read Lucille's Snowsuit, but daddy has read it before bed.  The front cover looked so cute I couldn't resist at the library :)

Second Gingerbread Friends By Jan Brett.



Don't you just love Jan Brett?  Her illustrations are gorgeous, the story flows so nicely and there is a gingerbread recipe in the margins of the book.
Gingerbread Friends is a cute story about the Gingerbread Baby who heads out into the world in search of some friends. There is a wonderful surprise page at the end,

The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado.

This is my favorite Christmas book.  I love the lesson in it that no matter what your lot in life is God has a purpose for you and it is BIG!

And for even more Christmas fun head on over to The Palace and enter my GIVEAWAY!!!

I haven't seen The Crippled Lamb before. We'll have to search out a copy. :)

All of these sound so good! I judge a book by its cover too - especially those really cute ones! And any Jan Brett book is a winner in our house. Thanks for sharing!

The Crippled Lamb sounds interesting. For whatever reason Anna didn't warm up to Jan Brett, at least not yet.

I am going to have to look for The Crippled Lamb as well. Gingerbread Friends sounds like a cute book too.

I love the Crippled Lamb. I was lucky and got to hear Max Lucado speak at my college.
