🐒 Great Joy 🎄 Christmas Holiday Book Poverty Kindness Short Read Aloud Story for Kids

A young girl shares the Christmas spirit with a homeless organ grinder and his pet monkey.

Mr. Paul reads aloud "Great Joy" by Kate DiCamillo, illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. This short holiday story book, set during World War 2, is an excellent way to demonstrate the virtue of generosity, and the inviting in of outsiders, which are core values of the Christmas spirit. The relationship between mother and daughter is well-rendered and believable, and the story's climax touches the emotions. The soft and nostalgic painted illustrations make this a beautiful picture book to share either at bedtime, or at story time in school. It is perfect for children in kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade. The simplicity of the narrative and the beauty of the images may turn this into a family classic that you'll return to, every year, as part of your own Christmas bedtime traditions.
