Children’s Books: Christmas Stories to Read Together

What’s your favorite book to read with your children during the holidays? Here are some true-and-tested picks.

‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ by Laurel Long (Dial Books)

The classic English Christmas carol that counts the gifts “my true love gave to me” over the course of 12 special days comes to life through the stunning oil paintings of Laurel Long in this beautiful book. As the familiar song cumulatively progresses and new gifts are added each day, the illustrations become more elaborate and readers can revel in searching for the hidden gifts in each.
