Children's Christmas Picture Book Countdown

Heres a book that belongs in your collection right next to all the Christmas classics. My Penguin Osbert written by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel

and illustrated by H.B. Lewis.

 I was so pleased when I found this book a few years ago...the story is so sweet and very imaginative.

And, the beautiful illustrations, you can't help but soak up every detail of this book, and your children will want to read it over and over (Mine, like to read it all year round).

Each year at Christmas, Joe writes a letter to Santa. But they've had a few misunderstandings in the past. Last year, for example, Joe wanted a fire-engine-red racecar with retracting headlights, and he did get one — but it was only three inches long. So this year Joe is really, really careful. He describes exactly what he wants — and on Christmas morning, guess what's waiting for him under the tree! Santa has brought him a living, breathing, black-and-white penguin named Osbert. Will anything in Joe's life ever be the same?

 

I highly recommend this book, you will fall in love with Osbert!
