A Present for Father Christmas by David Wood
Instead of asking for something in his Christmas letter, Sam offers to get Father Christmas a present instead. Touched by Sam’s generosity, Father Christmas looks forward to visiting Sam’s house.
Sam has saved his money but is upset when he can’t decide what Santa might like. Father Christmas rewards Sam’s thoughtfulness and rewards him by allowing Sam to join him on his sleigh, delivering Christmas gifts.
With pop-up pictures on every second page and a 3-D view into Santa’s workshop at the end of the story, this book is too fragile for young children to read alone but has a lovely message about thinking about others at Christmas that they will enjoy.

Christmas Activity Books
Some publishers release Christmas activity books to accompany their most popular Christmas stories. Parents can read picture books; then, children can complete a variety of puzzles, coloring-in and drawing pages, and sticker activities. Some books also include simple Christmas recipes.
Sticker and activity books are great stocking fillers given with a small set of pencils or colored markers. Packing one or two when going on a family drive to visit relatives for the holidays can also help to entertain children bored with travel or visiting homes that are not necessarily child friendly.
