Notes from a Librarian: New Holiday Books
New Christmas Books
Books are great gifts to give at Christmas. They become part of a home and are often loved and cherished for a life time. We still have picture books on our shelf that were given to me when I was a child and I have enjoyed sharing them with my children. Christmas books can also be part of a room’s child-friendly Christmas decoration. I have Christmas books that I set out with decorations, like the The Nutcracker, and The Night Before Christmas. Here are some new picture books that would make lovely Christmas gifts this year.
Christmas Books
The Third Gift by Linda Sue Park, ill. by Bagram Ibatoulline
This book is receiving a lot of attention this holiday season. It is written by the author who won the Newbery medal for A Single Shard in 2002, and illustrated by the amazing Russian artist who has done a number of books set in the Middle East. It is a story about a boy who works for a myrrh merchant and what happens when three kings come to their town looking for gifts for an infant king.
The Night Before Christmas ill. by Jan Brett
This is one of my favorite versions of The Night Before Christmas. Brett’s illustrations add fun and magic to the well-known story. Brett’s picture book was originally published years ago, but now it is available with a CD of the story read by Jim Dale. Dale is the narrator of the audio versions of the Harry Potter books and is probably the best voice actor/children’s book narrator out there right now.
The Carpenter’s Gift: A Christmas Tale about the Rockefeller Center Tree by David Rubel and ill. by Jim LaMache
Each Year the Rockefeller Center in New York erects a huge Christmas tree, often 70 feet tall. This beautifully illustrated and written picture book tells the history of the Rockefeller tree, and how now, each year, lumber from the tree is used to build houses for needy families.
Other Great New Picture Books
Spot the Plot: A Riddle Book of Book Riddles by Patrick Lewis and ill. by Lynn Munsinger
Here is a book to have out on the coffee table during the Holidays. It contains a collection of poem riddles about well-known children’s books. The cute illustrations help children (and adults) guess riddles about Goodnight Moon, The Polar Express, and other classics.
Naamah and the Ark at Night by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, ill. by Holly Meade
How did anyone ever get any sleep on Noah’s Ark? Naamah, Noah’s wife, sings them to sleep, of course. This is a gentle bedtime book, written in rhyme and based on the beloved biblical story. The illustrations are soft and sweet. This is a good choice for the littlest ones who like to identify animals.

Box Tops Battle Begins January 3rd
Annual Battle of the Box Tops & Labels 2012
From January 3rd until February 17th we will be having our annual "Boys vs. Girls" school-wide contest. Each teacher will have two collection sacks, one for boys and one for girls. The winner will have their t-shirt worn by Mrs. Yost for a day: "We Won! Boys Rule!" or "We Won! Girls Rule!" Don't forget: Contest begins January 3rd and ends at the start of school February 17th.
Once the teachers return after the winter break they will be given $10 to spend on something they need for their class. (This will use up the remainder of the Box Top money that was earned last year, from our contests during 2010-11 school year.) Keep watching as we report what supplies or rewards the teachers purchase for their students. Your children get the reward from all your hard work cutting and collecting Box Tops and Labels!
Thanks for your wonderful support. Let the battle begin!

PTA Collecting Dresses December 1st
Foothills PTA is collecting dresses in conjunction with the play The Hundred Dresses that BYU will be putting on Dec. 1st for 3rd-6th grade.
In partnership with the Centro Hispano and the Utah Refugee Services Office, dresses will go to children and women in need.
Dresses should be gently used. All dresses will be picked up by the cast the day of the performance.
More about The Hundred Dresses from The Hundred Dresses Website:
"Based on the 1944 Newbery Award-winning children’s book by Eleanor Estes, this new 50-minute adaptation is a story for children promoting tolerance and acceptance of all.
The story is told of a young student named Wanda Petronski, who, with a funny last name and only one faded school dress, becomes an easy target for teasing when she claims to have 100 dresses at home. But when the school drawing contest arrives, her classmates, including Maddie Mason, begin to see the consequences of their choices and the worth of an individual."
You can also see a news report (youtube video) about the production HERE.
