Jack Canfield
read these stories out loud to my children at Christmas time and they loved them, Children's literature. I always enjoy "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books and this is not exception, Love the children's Christmas stoies, These books always give me hope and inspiration, I esp love Christmas stories, Great Christmas stories to read to your kids, Some are very touching! Nice stories for youngsters, One for every day in December up to Christmas, Great stories to read alone or with your kids during the Christmas season, While many of these stories were magical be warned some of them a tear jerkers, Happy Reading!! It was a good book and had lots of great stories for christmas,
It's interesting that my school book provider suggests that the stories are intended for an adult audience, While reading, I had the feeling that many of the stories were more appropriate for older "kids" than younger, The Christmas comics added a nice touch as well as the Christmas illustrations that preceded each story,
I would love to keep the book and reread it every year, but it will be a welcome addition to our junior high school library, The stories need to be treasured by many instead of hoarded selfishly by one, Some stories are good and some are mediocre, I wouldn't say that any of them are out of this world good but they are fun, I like the way the book is written because everyday from December to Christmas, theres a short story to make me think about it, I think this a great book to readduring December becuase its the month of Christmas, My mother and I use to read this book every Christmas! While going through the bookshelf, I found it again and thought that I might start doing it again, This is one of my favourite holiday memories, The stories are very thoughtful but also not super based on religion, I don't even remember if there is any stories in here focused majorly on it, However, every story showed a way to grow and learn through out the Holidays, I greatly suggest this book for kids and parents a like wanting to start new traditions! Wonderful stories to read aloud with my daughter during the holidays! Just a short little review :
Just like the last review I did, this book was just a book I had grabbed off my bookshelf quickly, hoping to finish it so I could move on to other books on my bookshelf.
I actually enjoyed this book a lot more than the one I had completed today as well, chicken soup for the Christian teenager, I am not a huge fan of the chicken soups, especially at my age, but it is not as if I dislike them, Most stories are heartfelt and sweet, so it's almost impossible not to like some of them,
This was just an assortment of Christmas stories, the entire book being onlypages long, I finished the book in abouthours with breaks, so that should tell you how quickly I read the book, There arestories, a story per day from Decemberst to Christmas Day, My favorite would most likely be Decemberth, it made me smile, :
It's really hard to review this book because there were just so many stories all crammed into one book, it isn't even really a book, Most of these were just about giving things to others that actually meant something to the person, or doing something nice for someone that happened to be the time around Christmas.
Overall ,Good book! I read this book in one sitting, in mid September not even near Christmas, Not all the stories are outstanding, but enough of them are, And the ones that are will bring a tear to your eye and a sparkle to your heart! Consider it an advent calendar of sorts, A fantastic book to curl up with the family every night of December, Jack Canfield is an American motivational speaker and author, He is best known as the co creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series, which currently has overtitles andmillion copies in print in overlanguages.
