Christmas Stories: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids

i have really enjoyed reading the books, they are very intering. it was hard to put down. thanks again.

My daughter received this last year for Christmas. It is a wonderful adaption of the Little House books. The stories are touching and emphasis in my mind how commercial christmas has become.

I rate this book 5 stars out of 5. This book is a "Chapter Book", and as such, is an adaptation/collection of Christmas scenes from the other books in the "Little House on the Prarie" series. The time of Christmas, especially in the past, was a joyous, at times quiet and spiritual, celebration. Unlike our modern times of going to Disneyland or loud parties, "Christmas Stories" reveals the simple but true pleasures of family gatherings and preparing meals together, or even the excitement of merely "trimming" the Christmas tree. This wondrous time of simple family life is brought out in revealing and heartwarming details from the viewpoint of a little girl progressively getting older as the chapters go by. Don't get me wrong, not all was fun and celebrations. The book revealed hard times and hardship, but all faced by a family working together and trusting in God. I especially recommend this book to parents longing to raise their kids with just a bit more traditional flavor than what our modern politically correct public schools would allow. A chapter a day, read to and discussed with your kids (elementary through middle school) a week before Christmas would do an awful lot to instill the heartwarming feeling of a cozy traditional family Christmas.

This is a collection of the chapters about Christmas in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books; Little House in the Big Woods, Little House on the Prarie, On the Banks of Plum Creek, and By the Shores of Silver Lake. The chronological sequence is easy to follow and whets the appetite for reading the series. Excellent black and white illustrations in this historical family book. Recommended for students from K through the 5th grades
