Here are a few of our favorite books we read with our preschooler: The little Nativity books set Make Believe Ideas, Ltd. These are probably intended for infants and toddlers, but my 4 and 5-year-olds still love these books! So do I! They are perfect for little hands to hold and each book tells a bit of the Christmas story. Each one ends with a Christmas song that brings it all together.
