Cosy Christmas and Wintery Reads for Children

Curated by

Sam Drew

One of the greatest pleasures of the Christmas break is curling up in an armchair with a hot chocolate and a new book. The only way to get a more Christmassy feeling, is by reading a book set at Christmas or over winter. These are some of our favourites for younger readers!
