A lovely simple book. Just 100 words to sum up Christmas. Lots of chance to evoke discussion with the children. Colourful pictures. A perfect stocking filler for little ones

This was a cute and fun sight words holiday book that is great for emerging readers. The artwork is bright and there are familiar Christmas holiday themes. I loved that its showed the many ways that people celebrate Christmas. I loved all the words that are associated for all things Christmas, family tradition and holiday tradition. I definitely loved showing this book to my emerging readers. I think this is also a wonderful book with representation of a POC family. We don't always get to see this on sight word books so that makes this book even more special.

Cute word book. I was hoping for more holiday feel type words, but simple words like "fork" and "spoon" were thrown in.
I loved the illustrations throughout the book. My favorite was the grandma.
All in all, was cute.

Cute-ish with moments of amusement, especially the picture of angry grandma hitting fat sleeping grandpa with her coffee cup. Fun for kids and adults alike...hahaha.

Christmas in 100 Words is a great holiday book for babies and toddlers. The illustrations introduce young children to various words that could be associated with specific events such as "Christmas Eve", "Christmas Morning", and "Christmas Dinner". Although some of the words are for everyday objects, such as knife, fork, and spoon, young children are still learning the names for these objects. The back cover of the book advises parents to watch for the "action word" and "feeling word" in each scene (identified by colored dots). This is a great way to help parents talk to young children about the feelings they experience in different situations.

I absolutely love the illustrations in this book! The color palette and style of illustrations give this title a vintage look. I appreciate that the characters in the book are diverse and that the illustrations primarily follow one family through their holiday festivities. Additionally, the "Christmas Dinner" section features popular holiday dishes from around the globe.

I have a young toddler of my own and this is a book that I envision us enjoying together as the winter holidays approach. It would make a great addition to any board book collection!

I received a free copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

With an action word and a feeling word on every page this book filled with 100 Christmas words was great. A children’s book that invoked feelings of joy and warmth that bring me to my own traditions.

I loved the style and color pallet of the illustrations.

This book has cheerful and, at times, humorous illustrations. Accompanying these are the names of 100 Christmas related words. There are a number of sections in the book including "Christmas Decorating, Nativity, Christmas Eve, A Festive Walk" and more. Each section then has a number of objects that young children may point to and name. For Santa, for example, there are milk, cookies, sack, etc. Each section also includes an action word and a feeling word that adults can talk to children about. This is a cute book for the holiday season.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

There will be confusion. The United States in 100 Words, and the new The Ancient World in 100 Words gave us hundred-word essays in relation to a hundred single-word terms, allowing us to explore a lot of topics around the theme. However, this, Christmas in 100 Words, is just the hundred words – no extemporising, no editorialising, so no social studies or history, just the words, in a nicely designed picture book. Of those hundred words, some are very much loose – "knife", "fork", "spoon" and "pyjamas" are slightly weird inclusions, and I guess it says a lot more than a hundred could ever do to have "shops" involved. But still, who knew the traditional feast for the day in Japan involved fried chicken? The last time such a primer as this taught me something is long gone in my memory. So well done the creators, for what seemed to me to be a book that really did achieve what it set out to. A strong four stars.
