‘Tis the Season: A Lift-the-Flap Advent Calendar Full of Christmas Poems

K-Gr 2–Readers will find a daily dose of holiday cheer in this charming poetry Advent calendar lift-the-flap board book. From December 1 until Christmas, each day has a new poem, accompanied by delightful hidden illustrations. Poets, including Ogden Nash, Nikki Giovanni, John Agard, and more, cover topics like winter, snow, animals, and Christmas—there’s something to spark everyone’s imagination. Poems range in length from a few lines to half a page, so none are too long to hold a child’s interest. Each spread has multiple poems with relatively small text for a board book and may deter younger children. The flaps are different shapes and sizes, with the largest being the Christmas Eve poem. Illustrations are beautiful and festive, though they lack the high contrast typical for board books and are smaller than expected.
