You all know I love all books. But I LOOOOVE Christmas books. There's something about the iconic characters and themes that get to me every year. So many Christmas memories are wrapped up in these reads!
Today I've rounded up my 4 favorite Christmas novels for upper elementary. These books have amazing messages will be favorites with your children and students!
1. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson
This holiday story brings laughs every holiday season! When the troublesome Herdmans take over the Christmas Pageant, everyone predicts disaster. But in the end, the town learns about acceptance and the love of the holidays.
2. The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements
When his teacher steps aside, Hart Evans must direct the 6th grade holiday concert. Little does he know, his teacher is giving him the best lesson of all by handing over the class. If you like Frindle, you will LOVE this holiday book!
3. The True Gift by Patricia MacLachlan
This sweet holiday story is sure to put your class in the giving spirit. Liam and Lily are visiting family for the holidays when they notice a cow in need of a friend. Together, with the help of their community and a little Christmas magic, they reach their goal. This book is by the same classic author as Sarah, Plain, and Tall.
4. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
I'm sure you are very familiar with this classic novel. But are your students? This is a classic that all students should read! If you have higher level readers, they are well equipped to start this one. If your students are younger, this would be a great read aloud!
