ReadItDaddy's Christmas Booky Advent Calendar Book of the Week Day 14: "Snow in the Garden: A First Book of Christmas" by Shirley Hughes (Walker Books)

Our Booky Advent Calendar Day 14 and second Christmas Book of the Week is an absolutely gorgeous celebration of all the things that make the festive season so special for little ones.

"Snow in the Garden: A First Book of Christmas" by Shirley Hughes is such a warm hug of a book, once again showing that Shirley really knows how to conjure up such warming and atmospheric stories, with the most amazing illustrations still making our jaws collectively drop.

This beautiful Christmas anthology contains winter adventures, seasonal poems, festive recipes and easy-to-make craft activities. 

It's the sort of book that I have a dim and distant memory of from childhood, something you'd get on Christmas Day and excitedly unwrap - and still be reading and enjoying months later. 

An instant christmas classic, utterly perfect in fact!

"Snow in the Garden: A First Book of Christmas" by Shirley Hughes is out now, published by Walker Books (kindly supplied for review).
