The true story of Christmas

A perfect way to remind all of us, not just children of the true spirit of Christmas - Giving. The pictures really hold the attention of our grandkids as we read the story.

A wonderful reminder....

What a wonderful way to remind all of us that the true Christmas spirit is one of giving. As we join Edgar on his quest to find his Christmas presents we watch as his joy of giving grows with each new gift. A great way to share the gift of giving with our children and grandchildren. I would recommend reading this story early in the Season and then helping your child to find someone special with whom to share the special gift of Christmas books.

A great message of what Christmas is all about

Reviewed by Michelle D. Basich So many times at Christmas adults and children alike can get "wrapped" up in the fury of holiday shopping and buying/giving Christmas presents. Where Are My Christmas Presents? is a story that helps children refocus attention often placed on receiving presents to that of giving presents. With pictures on every page, the book helps children engage in a story that goes beyond the traditions of shopping and a fast-paced life to teach a lesson about slowing down, noticing the needs around you and using the resources you have to bring joy into the lives of others. There are very real life examples in the book that may need to be explained to small children. For example, a child that is bald, crying and in a hospital bed due to a probable cancer treatment or brain surgery. This image may be confusing or even scary for small children. The main character, Edgar, sees some sad situations, including the one listed above and feels as though perhaps he can do something about the problems at hand. Edgar learns to use his gifts as not just for him, but as an opportunity to help others. Because of his kindness, he has a surprise come to him at the end of the story that is quite a delight. Where Are My Christmas Presents? is a story that will engage elementary-aged children and teach them that Christmas is more than just receiving, but about giving as well. Armchair Interviews says: What a great message.
