Top 10 Lovely Christmas Songs
Christmas songs are something we don’t often get a chance to sing as adults.
Even if kids ask you to ‘teach me’ or ‘sing it,’ not many of us can recall the songs right away.
That’s why I’d like to introduce this picture book that includes 10 Christmas songs.
It comes with vocals and lyrics, so you’ll be all set with just this one book! It also has rhythm buttons you can press along with the songs—and amazingly, the sound changes for each track.
Be sure to pick it up for Christmas and create wonderful memories with your child.
The Little Owl and the Christmas Tree
One winter day, the people who cut down a Christmas fir tree discovered that a tiny owl had been living inside it.
Startled, they rescued the owl.
Before long, they learned that the tree would become the giant Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in New York.
This true, moving Christmas story revolves around a small life and a grand tree.
Its charm lies in the gentle message that every life, no matter how small, has a precious place to belong—something that will quietly touch children’s hearts.
When you finish reading, it’s a book that will surely make parents and children smile at each other and say, “I’m so glad.”

Little Fir Tree
In the forest stands a fir tree, smaller and frailer than the other trees.
One winter night, a little boy digs up the tree and brings it home.
The boy is ill and cannot go outside, but thanks to the fir tree, a “forest Christmas” comes into the house.
When spring arrives, the boy returns the fir tree to the forest.
The gentle promise—“Let’s meet again next year”—warms the reader’s heart.
This picture book quietly teaches that Christmas is not just about decorations, but a day to share kindness and compassion.
A Guest from a Distant Star
One night, as Christmas drew near, a princess from the Twinkle-Twinkle Star paid a visit to the owl who lived in the observatory.
She asked if she could warm herself by the stove because it was cold.
After that, the two of them made ice cream under the night sky.
It sounds chilly when you imagine it, but it looks absolutely delicious.
Then they decorated a fir tree with star fragments the princess gave them! It’s the kind of dream-filled, delightful turn of events that makes your heart flutter with excitement.
The princess’s outfit is so adorable that any girl might want to try wearing it herself.
The Cat Family’s Christmas
Count down the 24 days until Christmas together with the Cat family! Each page is filled with little delights like flaps for doors and windows to open.
Day by day, you’ll decorate the tree, bake treats, write letters… and watch the cats’ warm and bustling preparations unfold.
The Advent calendar–style interactive elements that you open each day make it an exciting event for children.
With charming mechanisms and a colorful world, this is a picture book that lets you “experience” Christmas together.
Piyo-chan and Merry Christmas
The story features Piyo-chan the chick.
It’s about Piyo-chan trying to place a wreath on the very top of the Christmas tree for Santa.
The book’s hallmark—and its biggest highlight—is the pop-up mechanism on the climax page! It’s easy to assemble, so you’ll feel like you’re decorating the tree right alongside Piyo-chan.
The horse’s neck extends, the owl’s wings flap—there’s more than one moving feature, so be sure to try them out and have fun.
Transforming Present
The picture book “Henshin Present” (Transforming Present) tells the story of Santa delivering wonderful gifts.
In the tale, Santa visits children who are troubled or facing problems, and his presents neatly solve them.
Each child has a name, and by calling that name over and over, it transforms into a present.
It’s a fun picture book where you can guess what the present will be from the situation in the illustration and the child’s name.
We’d love for children to think about whether their own names might be able to transform into presents, too.
