A New and Improved Santa by Patricia Rae Wolff
This story is about Santa and him wanting to change, but soon finding out that sometimes old-school is better than new school. I remember my teacher reading this to our class and all the students loved it. This story never gets old and teaches children that you don't have to change who you are.

My favourite holiday book is called The Mitten by Jan Brett. It is about a mitten and a whole bunch of animals that got in to it to stay warm. I love this book because it reminds me of my Kokum.

Moosletoe by Margie Palatini
I think Moosletoe is an amazing Christmas book. I've read it many times and it never gets old. It is very exciting and humorous.
-Zenaya
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
I chose this book because it teaches that anyone can have a change of heart and keep giving. I like the way the "Whos" kept on celebrating without presents because they still has Christmas spirt -the one thing thing the grinch couldn't take away from them.
