[LM_NET] Hit: Holiday Picture Books With Wonderful Illustrations

[MAUREEN RYAN <mryan@BUFSD.ORG>]

Hello everyone,
 
I just wanted to thank all of you for your responses in 
regard to my query:
 
I know that in June the last thing many of us is thinking about 
is December, but I would like to know if anyone has any recommendations for
holiday picture books suitable for kindergarten students that
have really incredible illustrations.  Our art teacher wants to
base the entire decoration of the school off of the book and
our principal is willing to purchase a copy for each teacher.
 
So far I have found a few books, but would love any input
you may have.  I will post a list of compiled titles after receiving
your responses.
 
I would greatly appreciate it if you could email me your responses.  
 
Thank you so much! 
 
 
 
As promised, here is a list of the titles that were recommended:
 
Any holiday book by Jan Brett
The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
The Christmas Crocodile by Bonny Becker
A Lighthouse Christmas by Toni Buzzeo (To be published in 2010)
The Snow Queen by Amy Ehrlich
Auntie Claus by Elise Primavera
One Winter's Night by Diane Dillon
The Mouse Before Christmas by Michael Garland
 
Once again, I thank all of you so very much.  It is wonderful to have a 
community of dedicated professionals to whom I can turn.  Have a 
wonderful summer!
 
 
Sincerely,
Maureen Ryan, LMS
