Eh. A bit bland, but some kids might like the "counting" element and there are instructions for the crafts that the girl makes so young readers can do the same. (Note The cover art is the best in the book.)

This book is a great book to use for younger children. It's about a little girl who doesn't just think about Christmas and presents. She counts down the days by doing activities each day to help celebrate the holidays.
I would use this book to teach children that Christmas is more than just presents and Santa and that there's many things to do to help celebrate the holidays with your family. This book is a Caldecott Honor winner.

This story has elements of the holidays and is a good ay to introduc vocabulary like trimming the tree. The book has a countdown to Christmas so children can work on their counting as well. The pictures are simple, but get the point across.
This book would be good to pair with the different crafts and activities from the story. one example would be coating pinecones in peanut butter and birdseed.

Its a great book to see numbers is numerical order. It was a kid friendly book. It would be a great book to use becuase it has some vocabulary that would be very educational for the students to know.

What s/he loves quickly became tedious to us. Each page is a single sentence with a couple of verbs. It does have the right spirit, with Santa's arrival only a small part of the story's focus.
