Thanks to everyone who suggested Christmas books to read to Pre-K. I think
I can find something from this list, and I have some books to order for
next year!

I know it’s an older title, but Christmas Crocodile by Becker was always a
hit with students during read-alouds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree by Robert Barry, a relatively short picture
book that the kids will enjoy...and it is fun to read, too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Alabaster's Song by Max Lucado (there is also a video of this story) and
one of my new favorites is A Small Miracle by Peter Collington. It is a
wordless book (Christian, Nativity scenes) and if you have a document
camera and can project the pictuers, the children love to tell the story
themselves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
My all time favorite to read this time of year is Hershel and the
Hanukkah Goblins by Eric Kimmel, yes it is old, but these PK and K have
never heard it before.
