Picture Books - Santa's Book of Names

Do you know a little one having trouble learning to read? Then enjoy a fun and encouraging book for Christmas. David McPhail’s Santa’s Book of Names (1997) is beautifully illustrated and heartwarming. Read it together and emphasis that with some patience it will all come together in time. Great for ages preschool and up. This book leads the reader into the sequel Edward and the Pirates (1997), which is really fun to read aloud to a young audience. It picks up with Edward from Santa's Book of Names. Also, Pirates quietly teaches the importance of taking care of library books. Just as a side note Edward and the Pirates was published before Santa's Book of Names.
