Okay, don’t judge me, I haven’t read this one either but you and I both know your kids would think it was hilarious!!! This would be an even better gift to a niece or a nephew, then you don’t have to keep it around your house!
23. A Christmas Carol
This would be a great book to read along with your older child! If all else fails and it proves too difficult…pop in the Muppet Christmas Carol on DVD!
