S is for Santa to the Rescue!
We absolutely love Santa to the Rescue! It’s bright, bold and colourful and has lots of little flaps to open and peek inside! Cute woodland animals help Santa prepare for Christmas and there’s a fantastic pop up Christmas scene on the final page.
The Story: Badger receives a letter from Santa Claus. The Bears of Misteltoe Mountain are stranded and Santa needs the woodland animals’ help. The animals are very excited at the thought of meeting Santa and race to his grotto where they help him to wrap presents, make decorations and prepare a Christmas feast. Then they all fly to Misteltoe Mountain where Mrs Bear invites them to join the bears for their Christmas feast.

Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler is one of our favourite Christmas stories. We had no idea that it was a Christmas story when we bought it!
In the newly published Santa Claude, by Alex T. Smith, Claude has an eventful evening when he mistakes Santa for a burglar!
The new anniversary edition of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs has a wonderful introduction by the author himself!
Last year author Steve Howson chose The Santa Trap by Jonathan Emmett and Poly Bernatene for Story Snug’s Advent Calendar.
Author Michelle Robinson recommended Snow Bears by Martin Waddell and Sarah Fox-Davies.
Author Ellie Woodward chose Sam Usher’s beautifully illustrated Snow.
Mum goes away to work and leaves Ellie in charge of making snowflakes in The Snowflake Mistake by Lou Treleaven & Maddie Frost.

Oh what a lovely book! My girls would have loved this as a Christmas Eve read. Have a fabulous Christmas #MMBC
It is really a gorgeous book, so much fun with all the little flaps. I hope you have a fabulous Christmas too 🙂
Ahh! What lovely books!
The Snowman is just a classic isn’t it. My girls are 9 & 14 and still love it 🙂 x
I bought The Snowman this year and I’d forgotten that it’s slightly different to the film.
These books all sound great! I love reading stories to my children and the ones I look after as a Childminder. Thanks for taking your time to list all these, great post!
Thanks Amanda, I’ve had fun with this year’s Advent Calendar 🙂
I have brought my eldest stick man book for Christmas as I know we love it after seeing it at the theatre last month X #mmbc
We absolutely love Stick Man! It was a huge surprise when we discovered that Father Christmas was also in the story 🙂
