These five Christmas books could be the answer, so take a peek at our seasonal picks below and start reading today.


The Mouse That Cancelled Christmas

Mouse has decided that getting in the festive spirit is far too dangerous – from sharp pine needles on the Christmas tree, to paper cuts from wrapping paper, to sneeze-inducing clouds of icing sugar for decorating the gingerbread biscuits. How will the other animals in Jingle Bell Forest persuade him to relax? Find out in this warm and comical Christmas tale filled with plenty of laugh-out-loud silliness.


A Tail of Christmas

Imagine if you had never heard of Christmas and you were about to learn about it for the very first time!

Follow their journey as they stumble upon a Christmas tree, presents, stockings and more in the house they live in.
