The Children of Noisy Village by Astrid Lindgren illustrated by Ilon Wikland*

My boys, four years and almost seven years, loved this book! Three farms in Sweden are situated closely together.  The children from these farms have many adventures together.  They play how children should play-outside with imagination and much joy!  The reader basically spends a year with the children which is great because he/she learns about the various Swedish customs for the holidays.

My oldest son said he liked how the boys teased the girls.  Even though a girl is the narrator, the story most certainly appeals to boys!
**Warning:  Very bluntly it is stated that Santa Claus is not real if that part of Christmas is important to you.
