Looking at the calendar, I’m still shaking my head.   Where has the time gone?  It’s almost Christmas time!  This will be the first Christmas being a Grandparent.  Our son & his girlfriend, welcomed their daughter into the world in March and this will be her first Christmas.  She’ll only be a little over 9 months old, but it’s never to early to read a story together.

I saw these books, and thought that they would be perfect to get as a gift for her, or even just have here at our home, to read together when she comes to visit.  I’m a bit old-school, when it comes to books.  The new e-readers and online stuff, just isn’t the same.  I love sitting down with a book and figured that these would be fun to read during the holidays.  I know that it’s only November, but I wanted to share these a bit early in case you have someone that you might want to get them for during the holidays.  They are a great quality, fun to read and perfect for the young ones…and old, like me! 🙂

About The Gift Shop Bear Book:

Discover the power of friendship in this nostalgic Christmas tale of a young girl and her furry friend—perfect for fans of The Velveteen Rabbit, Corduroy, and The Polar Express.

All year long, Bear watches from his spot in the attic as the seasons change, waiting for the first snowflakes that signify Christmas is coming. You see, at Christmastime, Bear gets to join his special friend, Annie, in the festivities in her grandma’s gift shop. But this year is different–the gift shop is closing and Bear’s future seems uncertain. Will Bear see Annie and Nana again? The heartwarming conclusion will make this story a family favorite at Christmastime each year.

Author-illustrator Phyllis Harris brings a warmth and coziness to her art and storytelling that give the book the timeless feel of a Christmas classic.
