Every year I get a new Christmas Children's Picture Book to read to my two boys on Christmas Eve. We have built quite a collection, and I thought it would be fun to post some of our favorite books each day this week until Christmas.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
by Marcus Sedgwick and Illustrated by Simon Bartram
I originally bought this book because it was illustrated by the artist of one of our favorite books, The Man on The Moon by Simon Bartram. We love his bright, super-surrealistic and "very detailed in a goofy kind of way" illustrations.
This year my son has been wishing for SNOW on Christmas day. This book tells a simple story of a boy's wish and illustrates it in a magical way including translucent pages that lead the reader to a wish that comes true.
I really recommend this Christmas book as well as his other books! Here are some illustrations from our favorite, The Man on the Moon: (A Day in the Life of Bob). A funny story that keeps you looking to see if aliens really exist.

So what does Sam & Ben think... Do aliens really exist?
