I haven’t participated in Read-Aloud Thursday in a while, but I found these three awesome books at Sam’s Club and had to share.
The first one is a AniMotion edition of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. It’s a beautifully illustrated version made even better with the AniMotion effects on many of the pages. It’s large (8×10) and has thick paper pages. Normally retailing for $18, I scored mine from Sam’s Club for $10 and change. WELL worth the money!
The other one was a copy of Twelve Days of Christmas by the same publisher. Awesome illustrations with one 2-page spread per verse. Everything else was same as above.
The last find was more loved by my kids than me, but I’m going to include it anyway. I got a large (8×10) board book copy of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem. I picked it up because someday I would like to have 25 books to wrap up and it was cute. My daughters love it because it has stars that blink and it sings the song. *I* like that it has an on/off switch :). Annoyance factor aside, I do like that the story is told in rhythm with the song so you can sing the story with the music if you are so inclined. The last page is the first verse of the song. This one, like the others, was about $10. They also had Little Drummer Boy in this format, too.
If these sound fun, go check out Sam’s Club before they’re gone! Or you could always help support this site by using the affiliate links above ;). Merry Christmas!
