Don’t forget the little ones when you are buying your holiday books! There are a wide variety of wonderful Christmas board books for babies and toddlers to enjoy during the holiday season. From touch and feel interactive books to sweet stories introducing them to traditions and symbols, you are sure to find something for your child! While several of the classic Christmas stories are also available in board book formats, I tried to keep this post to mostly books aimed at very young children.

You Are My Miracle
Written by Maryann Cusimano Love
This sweet book follows a father bear and his child as they prepare for Christmas. The father tells the child how precious he is, and compares their relationship to many Christmas items (he is the hot cocoa, the child is the marshmallow) in a sweet rhyming pattern. Kids will enjoy the fun illustrations and rhyming, while parents will enjoy the message of the story (and just might tear up!).
Llama Llama Jingle Bells
Written by Anna Dewdney
This is one of the Llama Llama books meant for the very young. While the text is much shorter, young kids will enjoy looking at the pictures as the familiar Llama character takes part in traditional winter activities. A cute book for young readers to enjoy over and over again.
The Itsy Bitsy Snowman and The Itsy Bitsy Reindeer
Written by Jeffrey Burton
These are cute holiday themed twists on the Itsy Bitsy Spider tune. Kids will love the cute stories and bright and colorful pictures, as well as the nice rhyming pattern.
Eight Jolly Reindeer
Written by Ilanit Oliver
This shaped board book is a cute counting book that lets kids count down from 8 reindeer to 1. Kids will love the bright and sparkly illustrations and the familiar characters of Santa’s eight reindeer.
Merry Christmas, Stinky Face
Written by Lisa McCourt
This sweet book flows in a question and answer format between a mother and child, much like the original I Love You, Stinky Face

Interactive Christmas Board Books
Little Blue Truck’s Christmas
Written by Alice Schertle
Join Little Blue Truck as he goes about his job of delivering Christmas trees to his friends. Kids who love the Little Blue Truck will enjoy counting along as he gathers up trees. The bright colors and light up Christmas tree will surely entertain young readers.
Where Is Baby’s Christmas Present?: A Lift-the-Flap Book
Written by Karen Katz
This is an interactive story that is sure to keep little ones entertained. As Baby searches throughout the house for a Christmas present, kids will delight in lifting the flaps to discover a variety of Christmas surprises.
Our Little Deer (Earesistables)
Written by Sandra Magsamen
This is an adorable book with soft reindeer antlers attached to it which coincide with the cute illustrations in the book. The short and sweet message inside reminds kids that they are special. Kids will love playing with the antlers and parents will love sharing the message with their little ones.
There are so many wonderful Christmas books available for kids of all ages. Don’t forget to include your smallest “deers”! Do you have any favorite Christmas board books in your family?

Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
Oh no! Thanks for the heads up! Which pictures are giving you trouble?
My kids love Where is Baby’s Christmas Present but unfortunately they have ripped off a few of the flaps. It might be worth it for me to buy a replacement, LOL.
She has such adorable holiday themed books! Lift the flaps are so hard with little ones!
