Need some Holiday reading?



Only one more week until Christmas! For parents that will seem like a short time to get everything done. But for children, it will seem like forever. If you have someone at home that is having trouble waiting for Santa to arrive, you might try reading Llama Llama, Holiday Drama by Anna Dewdney to them. I'll bet you can relate!

"If there's one thing Llama Llama doesn't like, it's waiting. He and Mama Llama rush around, shopping for presents, baking cookies, decorating the tree....but how long is it until Christmas? Will it ever come?"

Wegivebooks.org is offering some Christmas book titles (and other snowy titles) to read online free right now. And if you're looking for another holiday classic, here's Frosty the Snowman. The website says for ages 0-3, but this classic is for all ages, really.

Fair warning though: You will need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer or tablet to read these stories.

And if your children enjoy reading books online, don't forget---The Massillon Public Library website has plenty of books, videos, and puzzles/games on our Tumblebooks page. We received this Tumblebooks subscription thanks to a generous donation from the Mel Herncane family. We hope you'll take advantage of it!

It even lists the Accelerated Reader points that students can earn by reading these books.

Excited for Christmas yet? Here's a great story to get you in the mood: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Merry Reading!
