Christmas Books for Kids by Age

15 gifts from £6.99 to £14.99

Christmas books for kids, grouped by age so you can buy the right one first time: board books for 0 to 2, picture books for 3 to 5, first chapter books and longer picture books for 6 to 8, and proper novels for 9 to 12. These are the titles UK families come back to every December, from That's Not My Reindeer and Dear Santa for the very smallest, through The Jolly Christmas Postman, Stick Man and Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas, to The Christmasaurus, The Polar Express, A Boy Called Christmas and a clothbound A Christmas Carol for readers who are ready for Dickens. Every book is linked to Waterstones, checked in stock at the price shown, with the age band in each note. Books make the easiest Christmas Eve box, the most reliable stocking layer, and the gift that is still being read next year.
