Just 4 weeks away from Christmas Day so here are the delightful Christmas books that have popped up this year. Four picture books and the perfect Christmas activity book are here!
Applesauce and the Christmas Miracle Glenda Millard & Stephen Michael King (ABC Books)
This is just a wonderful reworking of the Christmas story - set in a very Australian setting with a little pig called applesauce that learns that Christmas comes from the heart. Beautiful illustrations. Great story. Wonderful present.
An Aussie Day before Christmas Kilmeny Niland (Scholastic Australia)
Before the NIGHT before Christmas comes the DAY before Christmas and this is the book that explains everything that happened on that day. This glorious picture book is from the creator of the hugely successful An Aussie night Before Christmas.
'Twas the day before Christmas and in his beach shack,
Santa was snoozing flat on his back.
'Shake a leg, love,' Sheila Claus said.
'Time to get ready for the big night ahead.'
This is the book that tells how Aussie Santa gets ready to deliver his presents.
Letters to Santa Andrew Daddo & Michelle Pike (Scholastic Australia)
Now what would the animals from around the world write in their letters to Santa at Christmas time? What presents would they request from Santa? The amazing and very surprising answers are in the pull-out letters that are in the pages of this delightful book.
Princess and Fairy: A Very Sparkly Christmas Anna Pignataro (Scholastic Australia)
Princess and Fairy are back and this time its a very sparkly Christmas. The keeps of Christmas have asked them to decorate The Christmas tree in time for the midnight display.

A Bush Christmas CJ Dennis & Dee Huxley (black dog books)It is wonderful seeing classic Australian verse that has stood the test of time gloriously illustrated - and this is one of those books. This story still is classically Australian - a hot Christmas, with a burning sun, visitors dropping by and a hot kitchen preparing a Christmas feast. It is sure to make new readers giggle and smile and with the great illustrations the reader will giggle and smile even more. An Aussie Christmas book for an Aussie Christmas.
