‘‘Twas the night before Christmas follows a family ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas follows a family on Christmas Eve. We follow the same classic poem, but as the girl goes downstairs, she is filled with joy that Santa looks just like her. He bypasses the cookies and goes to Grandma’s sweet potato pie. Santa’s love for her family makes the little girl’s heart swell with love! This is such a beautiful book that will be loved for years to come! Kids will be overjoyed to finally be represented in a book like this, with Santa looking just like them! It’s the perfect book to make the holidays shine a little brighter! Many thanks to @simonkids for sending me a copy of the book! 🎄 #simonkidscrew #christmasbook #christmasbooksforkids

Welcome to the Muttcracker, where this extraordina Welcome to the Muttcracker, where this extraordinary ballerina pup wants to play the part of the Sugar Plum Fairy! 🧚🏼 When Miss Polly makes a special announcement that their next Christmas show will be The Nutcracker, Biff wants to be the sugar plum fairy, but someone else is chosen for the part and they are chosen to be Bonbons. All Biff can think about is that fluffy tutu and sparkly tiara. Our main character tries to practice her dance alone, but it’s not fun and the steps are too hard. Luckily, Biff never gives up! He dusts himself off and they practice, practice, practice! It’s finally showtime but the Sugar Plum Fairy is sick! Biff is asked to fill in, but will he accept? This is such a fun story about working hard and never giving up! Even though Biff didn’t get the part he wanted, he still worked hard to be the best Bonbon he could be! I love the friendship between Biff and the girl & the ending is beautiful! These friends stick together & persevere even when they don’t get what they want. “Sometimes you get to be the Sugar Plum Fairy. Sometimes you have to be a bonbon…” A hilariously accurate representation of life! Many thanks to @simonkids for sending me a copy of the book! 🩷 #simonkidscrew #christmasbooksforkids #christmasbooksforchildren
