Many librarians have felt the need and expressed the desire for a select collection of children's Christmas stories in one volume. This book claims to be just that and nothing more.
Each of the stories has already won the approval of thousands of children, and each is fraught with the true Christmas spirit.
It is hoped that the collection will prove equally acceptable to parents, teachers, and librarians.

The Children's Book of Christmas Stories brings together some of the most beloved stories of all time. With 35 wonderful stories from greats like Dickens, Hans Christian Anderson, Elizabeth Harrison, and Theodore Goodridge Roberts this book will be cherished by the whole family for years to come.
We read and reviewed over 100 Christmas Stories. We felt that younger children would get the most enjoyment from the titles we selected below. We hope you enjoy reading them to your children, grandchildren, or to students in your classroom.
