Book Sharing Monday :: Richard Scarry's Best Christmas Book Ever! & The Shortest Day: Celebrating the Winter Solstice


Two books today to share with you! The first one, Richard Scarry's Best Christmas Book Ever! I requested this one from our local library after reading the book sharing post at Rockhound Place. I remember having a few Richard Scarry book when I was growing up. This book is filled with fun short stories. There is also a game you can play, two songs and one activity.  




The second book, The Shortest Day: Celebrating the Winter Solstice by Wendy Pfeffer. I actually shared this book last year here. It is a favourite! The Shortest Day explains what winter solstice is and the traditions over time that people followed for this occasion. The book also explains it from a science point of view, and gives activities to do.




If you would like to share your current favourite children books, please include your link to your post below. Happy Reading!
