New Books for Christmas & Hanukkah

Gingerbread Baby and his friend, Matti, take his gingerbread band to the Christmas Festival where they are a hit--until the aroma of gingerbread reaches the children, signaling the time to run away.

The Lost Gift: A Christmas Story - Kallie George & Stephanie Graegin
Four animal friends-- Bird, Rabbit, Deer, and Squirrel-- deliver a package for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Greta and Gracie are sisters - Greta is chatty while Gracie is quiet and it's all fine until, one day, everything changes. It's nearly Christmas and together the sisters decorate the tree, shop for presents and even try a spot of ice-skating! But Greta, of course, always knows best - poor Gracie can't get a word in edgeways. Then on Christmas Eve, while Greta is quietly sleeping, Gracie hears a funny noise ...whatever could it be? She creeps downstairs to investigate, and the next morning her very special revelation leaves chitty chatty Greta lost for words!

Maple & Willow's Christmas Tree - Lori Nichols
Sisters Maple and Willow get their first real Christmas tree, only to discover that Maple is allergic to it.

When the people of Chelm receive a giant menorah as a gift from the mayor of Lublin, the villagers try to come up with a fitting way to thank the mayor, but it isn't until the last night of Hanukkah that young Yitzi comes up with the right idea.
