What Color is Bear's Underwear? by Todd H. Doodler (Illustrations), Todd Harris Goldman

This was such a funny way for children to learn basic color and the days of the week.

Children had so much fun reading this one. 

For some reason the thought of underwear makes the little ones laugh.

Secret Santa Baby by Robin Covington

I absolutely loved this lighthearted short novella.

Once upon a time Nicholas missed his chance, but now that Tessa is single, he's gonna win her heart with a lot of Christmas magic.

Second Chance Christmas by Ellen Butler

Major Colton Evans was minding his own business when he gets accidentally injured in a bar fight and who does the hospital call, his ex Emma Taylor.

At first Emma is super angry; how can she not be the last time they parted it was in less than ideal terms.

From this point on, the story is about reconciling and getting a second chance at love around the Christmas holiday.

My only issue with the story was that they got over all their issues in two seconds; like one minute it's "I hate you" and the next it's "I love you."

The Snowy Day (Peter #1) by Ezra Jack Keats

This lovely classic is fun for children of all ages.

A whimsical tale of the joys of first snow has delighted children since 1962. 

Granted here in Southern California, we've never had a snow day, or at least not in my lifetime; yet I can still say that this tale is a delight.

This tale reaches down to the whimsical innocence of youth.

Dig Those Dinosaurs by Lori Haskins Houran, Francisca Marquez (Illustrations)

I would recommend this book for three year old children. 

The sentences are very basic and highly repetitive that slightly older children become annoyed with constantly repeating "dig, dig, dig".
