Part I. Top 5 Christmas funny short stories for kids
1. Moon Rabbit
By Natalie Russell (Viking Juvenile, 2009)
Ages 3 to 6
I am completely smitten with Little Rabbit and her moonlit adventure to discover whether there is someone out there just like her. When she hears some lovely music playing in the park, she stumbles upon Brown Rabbit, who is nothing like her, making him the perfect friend.
2. Where the Wild Things Are
By Maurice Sendak (1963)
All ages
Who doesn't love putting on a pair of wolf pajamas and making mischief of one kind ... and another? I will read this funny story over and over and over again without complaint. Max's existential journey into the night's darkness has a strangely comforting effect on children, as they learn to tame and love the monsters in the room even before they start imagining them to be there.
3. Time to Say Goodnight
By Sally Lloyd-Jones, illustrated by Jane Chapman (HarperCollins, 2006)
Ages 3 to 6
Lloyd-Jones gently guides us through the meadow and forest where sleepy animals, all beautifully rendered by Chapman, quiet down and get ready for bed while nocturnal animals awaken.
4. Goodnight, Me
By Andrew Daddo, illustrated by Emma Quay (Bloomsbury USA, 2007)Ages 2 to 6
This book is both lovely and useful; it demonstrates a clever way to create a bedtime ritual in which children say goodnight to various parts of their bodies. In the story, a sweet-faced orangutan gets comfortable and eventually falls asleep with his mother's help. If only it were so easy with human children!
5. Freckleface Strawberry
By Julianne Moore, illustrated by LeUyen Pham (Bloomsbury USA, 2009)Ages 4 to 8
Everybody has a dodgeball story to tell, even though this "sport" has been weeded out of the phys-ed programs in most schools. Moore sets her charming character in a battle of wits against the biggest bully in picture books, Windy Pants Patrick. And Freckleface's courage is unmatched as she brings the forces of invisibility to bear and triumphs just in time for my daughter, Hedda, to go to sleep already.
