3 comments about Home for Christmas.

1. As a former student of Mr. Bahr, I was thrilled to find and order his book at Amazon.com. As soon as it arrived, I sat down and read the entire book in less than 20 minutes. It is a charing tale of two small children finding some happiness and a new home during the difficult Post-Civil war days. This is a story, I will enjoy sharing with my daughter for years to come.



2. A beautifullly rich yet simply written little story. I am ordering several copies to give as Christmas gifts.



3. Howard Bahr has written an absolutely charming, heartbreaking and heartwarming little novel. It's the winter of 1865 with Christmas just a few days away. Recently freed from slavery, Isaiah has taken the two orphaned children of his former master to live with their Uncle. In a mere 49 pages, the lives of four people are completely changed and each must come to terms with these changes as they struggle to prepare the Christmas celebration they so desperately need. The two men establish a guarded relationship, each recognizing their own sense of duty to these children. The girl begins to take on the nesting responsibilities learned from her mother. Only the boy cannot reconcile, insisting that he's going "home for Christmas." Read it and weep.

1 comments about Sharing Christmas.

1. This was a beautiful book where different types of animals shared and helped each other. What a world this would be if our children were brought up with these values in commercial products instead of the violence that now prevails in games and movies.

2 comments about The Christmas Bus.

1. Lyle Baskin's full color artwork wonderfully illustrates novelist, playwright and screenwriter Robert Inman's engaging and entertaining story in "The Christmas Bus". Set at the Peaceful Valley Orphanage, this is the picturebook Christmas tale of Mrs. Frump who is trying to find good homes for the holiday for her gaggle of rowdy kids. But when the local busybodies and a suspicious Sheriff Snodgrass intervene, a simple bus ride turns into a terrifically involved and complicated adventure for this band of orphans! Original, heartwarming, and a truly welcome addition to the growing library of Christmas oriented titles, "The Christmas Bus" is an enthusiastically recommended addition to family, school, and community library holiday season collections and reading lists.



2. Many raves have been accorded to Bob Inman's previous novels. "The Christmas Bus" will endear him to yougsters as well as adults.

1 comments about Wiggles Christmas Song & Activity Book (The Wiggles) (The Wiggles).

1. When I bought the Wiggly Wiggly Christmas DVD last year for my boys, I was pleasantly surprised to hear songs about Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas. My 2 year old asked for a Wiggles Book for Christmas so I ordered this one. It just came and it's wonderful! The first few pages tell about the birth of Jesus and why we celebrate Christmas, why we have Christmas trees, etc. Then it goes on to give lyrics and sheet music for Christmas songs. Each song is followed by a craft activity for parents to do with their children. And the crafts will be easy enough to do with my 2 & 3 year old boys and probably would entertain older children too. I highly recommend this!
