Romper – Olivia Hinebaugh
“You can still read and gift The Polar Express, but maybe Dasher will be your new favorite, one of the many holiday-themed children’s books out this year that put a stripy-stockingsed twist on stories you know, or fix the age-old problem in kids’ lit of “not enough guinea pigs.” If you’ve relied heavily on Happy Hannukah, Curious George, you might find Goodnight Bubbala, a Yiddish parody, freshens up one of the eight nights of Hannukah. If you want to explain Yule to your tot, or why it’s dark when you pick them up from daycare, there is The Shortest Day. Whether you celebrate Hannukah, or Christmas, or the Solstice, or you just like making a good snowman, there are snowy days, parties, traditions, and hijinks galore in these new titles. So light the menorah, deck the halls, and snuggle in for some magical wintery reading.” (more)
