[AISLE-Share] Christmas Books

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

You might also want to consider great read alouds that are not Christmas
themed since it is unlikely that 100% of your students and staff celebrate
Christmas.  In addition, public schools should not emphasize one religion
over another. Of course, this suggestion does not apply if you teach in a
Catholic school.
