Winter Break is Coming Soon

12/10/2021

With many kids’ winter breaks coming up, we have some great recommendations to add to your collection in time to help keep them entertained during the upcoming holidays. From board books to leveled readers and activities, Penworthy has you covered.

From the popular “Build It” series comes Build It: Christmas, jam-packed with Christmas projects to build with LEGOs. It shows kids how to make Santa’s Workshop, a Cozy Mantel, Winter with Friends, and The Night Before Christmas. Like other books in the series, each project has plenty of photos, diagrams, and detailed instructions to make building the scenes fun and entertaining. Everything from a Christmas tree to a sleeping dog will come to life with kids’ favorite building bricks. You can find this Penworthy Prebound book by clicking here.

Step Into Reading has a sweet Step 3 book perfect for American Girl fans called Molly’s Christmas Surprise. The book is set during World War II and the main character, Molly McIntire, lives with her family in a small town. Her dad is an Army doctor, deployed to England to help injured service members there, which makes the family a little sad before Christmas. Then a box arrives from Dad marked “Hide Until Christmas”, and Molly and her older sister do just that. But that’s not the only surprise in store for the McIntires on Christmas Day! You can find this delightful Penworthy Prebound book here.

For your smallest patrons, board books featuring favorite characters are lots of fun at Christmas. Deck the Halls with Elmo is perfect for reading and singing along. The 8x8 board book takes a familiar Christmas carol and reimagines it with Sesame Street friends having fun getting ready for Christmas, going sledding, and generally getting in the spirit. Kids will love seeing Elmo, Big Bird, Grover, Cookie Monster, and other friendly faces as they sing along to the reworded carol. Careful! It’s an earworm! You’ll find it here.

In 1966, Michael Brown introduced the world to the tiny and delightful Santa Mouse who became a household tradition for many. This year we offer Santa Mouse Makes a Christmas Wish featuring this cute little creature. In this 8x8 picture book, Santa Mouse, who rides with Santa on his sleigh delivering presents every year, is looking for something to do the other 364 days of the year. At first he tries making toys and presents himself, but being a very tiny mouse, the items he makes are too small. Then he comes up with another idea: he can help wrap the gifts that Santa will be delivering. Too bad his tail got in the way! But naturally, Santa himself comes up with the perfect task for Santa Mouse, who is filled with holiday joy.  Another Penworthy Prebound book, you can find this one here.
