Christmas in July: Christmas Animal Books (2)

 

It's Christmas in July here at YA Book Nerd.

Because of the pandemic, last year's Christmas book order at the library took longer to come in.  So I didn't get the chance to take them home and read them first like usual. And thus didn't get my picture book Christmas fix. But now I've gotten a chance to read them and wanted to share some of my favorites. Stay tuned all month long for new to me picture books.

 

When a family leaves their home for the holidays, a frog jumps at the chance to make it his home. But he's not alone. Other animals arrive looking for a cozy place to stay.

This is a funny and charming story with playful animals and a smart little girl. I loved that this book started with a photograph and a what if...

Milo and his family attend the Christmas parade every year - mostly for the food. But not Milo. He loves the parade and the floats and everything Christmas. He's determined to be in the parade next year and works super hard to make it happen.

A funny story about opossums, teamwork, and a big dream.

Mistletoe loves Christmas and wants to share her joy with her best friend. Unfortunately Norwell doesn't like the cold. He likes to be in front of the fire. But Mistletoe has an idea...

A cute story about friendship, giving, and being together.
