Little Blue Truck’s Christmas by Alice Schertle, illustrated by Jill McElmurry. I can’t tell you how many hours we spent last year poring over the details in this gorgeous lift-the-flap book that shows how people celebrate Christmas in different parts of the world. Walk this World at Christmastime illustrated by Debbie Powell. What if you woke to jingling in the night and found a little lost reindeer in the woods? It’d be pretty magical, that’s what.

The illustrations on this one especially are just to die for. And when that tree is chosen to be the tree for the Rockefeller Center, the birds are separated.

It’s about a pair of cardinals who live together in a giant tree in a family’s yard. This might be my favorite new Christmas picture book.
