One Christmas Bear | The Perfect Addition To Your Holiday Book Collection

Christmas traditions are so much fun! Just like most families, we have our special Family Christmas Traditions. One of my favorites is our collection of Christmas books that we set out under the Christmas tree. My mom always had a basket of Christmas books that she kept for us under the tree, and I love doing that for my kids now. Each year we add one new book, one for each kid with their names written in the book. This year we get to add One Christmas Bear, written by Anne Vittur Kennedy.

One Christmas Bear

(Please note: This is a sponsored post, which means I have been given this book for review. All opinions are my own. You can read more about sponsored posts here).

One Christmas Bear is an adorable book with colorful illustrations and simple rhyming text. The story follows a cute and cuddly polar bear who has fun Christmas adventures with his arctic friends. My kindergartner and toddler love to read books, especially books that are interactive. One Christmas Bear counts the blessings of Christmas throughout the book. My kids love counting, especially now that the toddler is learning her numbers.

The book is cut in a fun shape and is a "board book". It is sturdy with thick pages that can survive just in case a younger sibling decides to use it as a teething toy. (Not that it has ever happened at our house...ha!) The story is geared for toddler to preschool age kids, but as I mentioned above, my kindergartner loves to read with her sister. I think most kids of all ages enjoy being read to! 

When I'm shopping for Christmas books, I love the traditional and fun holiday books with Santa and Elves and snowmen. However, as a parent I really appreciate when I can find a fun book that also incorporates our faith and the reason for the season - the birth of Baby Jesus. One Christmas Bear does a great job placing emphasis on Faith, Family, and Friends too!
