Advent calendars and books? These are a few of our favorite things! Make the countdown to Christmas that much more fun when you engage excited little ones with this delightful "Advent book." The front cover, illustrated with townspeople decorating their homes and Christmas trees, serves as the Advent calendar: Lift each of the twenty-four small flaps to reveal a pictorial clue to that day's special task. Inside, each December day leading up to Christmas features a fun activity: Write a letter to Santa, whip up a batch of raspberry hot chocolate, make paper snowflakes, sing carols, read a holiday story, assemble a care package for a child in need…and eighteen more. Best of all? You'll create happy lifelong memories with the children you love.
