5. Olivia: Best Sister Ever- by R.J. Cregg
This fantastic read is about a little girl who is trying to find the perfect present for her baby brother, William. With help from her family, she spies on William. Will she find the perfect gift for him? While being an exciting story, it is still easy to read.
4. Olive, The Other Reindeer- by J. Otto Seibold. and Vivian Walsh
This hilarious book is about a dog named Olive. When hearing her favorite song, Olive wonders, "am I the other reindeer?" When Olive takes a bus to the North Pole to lead Santa's sleigh, she ends up being the superhero of Christmas. I like this book because it shows that even just a little dog can make a big difference in the world. This book is recommended for ages 4 to 9.
3. The Sneetches and Other Stories- by. Dr. Seuss.
"The Sneetches" is a wonderful and sweet story about two different types of creatures who realize that it's what's on the inside that counts. "The Zax" is a story about two creatures who are too determined to stay on their own path to move. This hilarious story will have you hunched over in laughter. "Too Many Daves" is a creative story about a mother who named all her sons Dave and wishes she had named them something else, like Sunny Jim or Blinkey. It leads to confusion all around. "What was I Scared of?" is a sweet and slightly scary story about a creature who comes across a pair of pants that is walking on its own. Will the creature and the pair of pants become friends, or will they continue hiding from each other forever? I recommend this book for ages 2 to 10.
2. An Elephant and Piggie Series- by Mo Willems.

This series is about an elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie who go on lots of hilarious adventures. One of my favorite books in the series is Should I Share My Ice Cream. It is about Gerald getting one ice cream cone, but he remembered Piggy, his best friend. Should he share it with his best friend, Piggy, or should he keep it all to himself? Spoiler alert: he should share it. I also recommend I Will Take a Nap. This lovely and partly sleepy book is about Gerald, who is very cranky and very tired. His plan is to take a nap, until his friend Piggie interrupts him. Gerald is so cranky that he makes his friend Piggie cranky too. They both try to take a nap, but, unfortunately, Piggy is too loud. Will Gerald ever get to sleep? If you' like to read more, Biggie is a compilation of 5 books that I love. "Today I Will Fly" is a book about Piggie wanting to try to fly. She tries almost everything, but pigs just cannot fly, can they? "Watch Me Throw the Ball" is a confusing book about Piggie throwing Gerald's ball. Piggie thinks that playing ball is just about winning having fun, but Gerald has different ideas. Will Piggie be able to throw the ball without being trained. "Can I Play Too?" is a book about a tiny snake who wants to join the game. Will Piggie and Gerald find a way for everyone to play? "Let's Go for a Ride" is about Gerald and Piggie planning to go on a big trip, but are they prepared enough? It seems as if they remembered to pack everything, except a car! What will they do? "I Really Like Slop" is about Piggy wanting Gerald to try Piggy's favorite food. But Gerald refuses to try it! Will Gerald ever try this new, unusual food? This series is good for kids who like longer picture books and like to read on their own.
1. Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree- by Robert E. Barry
Mr. Willowby has a perfect Christmas tree, but there's just one problem. The top is a little bit too tall. As the mini-Christmas tree is passed on to smaller and smaller animal families, it brings Christmas joy to each one of them!!! I love this book because it shows that the top of a Christmas tree can bring joy to many other little families.
