Christmas Fun Mad Libs
I bought this, along with Christmas Carol Mad Libs, for my two boys, age
8 and 10. We brought them out on Thanksgiving after dinner and before
dessert when everyone was too full to get up :) EVERYONE had a great
time playing Mad Libs. Each boy got a turn to go around the table and
ask each person in turn for the noun or verb or whatever was required,
and then read back the story they created. We all loved it, and the rest
of us were adults! I don't know how long we sat around playing but
dessert ended up being served later than planned - no one wanted to
stop. I will be purchasing more for this year's Thanksgiving. We're
having more kids this year and each one will find a Mad Libs book at
their place setting. We may not get dessert until midnight. This childrens Christmas book is for kids reading levels ages 9-12.

Cop's Night Before Christmas
"T'was the Night Before Christmas" readers will relate to this story in
rhyme because it follows the same pattern, with different words.
Illustrations are colorful and add to the story. The cover shows a overweight
policeman, looking like Santa. The story centers around a young
policeman who reluctantly leaves his wife and young son to work on
Christmas Eve. First, he helps a woman with a flat tire, cautions a
speeding driver and rescues a kitten. Then he sees a fat old cop who
says his name is Kringle. Policeman Kringle takes over the young cop's
duties and tells him to go home to his family, much to his delight. Soon
he sees a helicopter overhead with jolly Cop Kringle inside waving. The
rhymes are good and not contrived. The author is himself a policeman. This Christmas kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8. A great kids book and a wonderful gift.

The Legend of the Poinsettia
Tomie dePaola masterfully retells the Mexican legend of how the
poinsettia came to be. When Lucinda's mother becomes ill and is unable to
finish weaving a blanket for the town's nativity, Lucida tries to
finish it herself. After she ruins the blanket beyond repair and is
ashamed to enter the church empty-handed, Lucinda hides from the town's
festive Christmas Eve procession. While she is hiding, a mysterious old
woman comes out of the shadows and encourages her to join her family in
church and offer whatever she can give to Baby Jesus. After gathering an
armful of weeds, Lucinda enters the church and places them in the
manger, where they transform into the bright red star of the poinsettia.
On their way home after midnight mass, the villagers find the
countryside filled with these beautiful red stars. This Christmas kid book is for children reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
