It's FRIDAY and time for Fast Five Fiction. 2020 has been a rough year for everyone but as holiday decorations spring up around the library we've all been experiencing a little bit more cheer. As we approach this holiday season we've got books for all ages, picture books, chapter books, and nonfiction baking and craft books. This week I've got five Christmas picture books new to our shelves. Click on the title to be directed to our catalog and see if items are available, or place them on hold.

5 More Sleeps 'Til Christmas by Jimmy Fallon
With his typical humor, Jimmy Fallon brings us a new holiday classic to help us prepare for the most exciting week of the year.
Everyone who grew up celebrating Christmas remembers the excitement that built up to the most magical day of the year. But why not make the last week until Christmas more fun by counting how many sleeps until the arrival of Santa and his reindeer?
Just 5 more sleeps 'til Christmas!
Can you believe it's here?
I know that Santa's coming soon
'cause I've been good all year.
All the Colors of Christmas by Matthew Paul Turner
In his trademark style, Matthew Paul Turner celebrates the Christmas season, particularly the colors that infuse the holiday and all the memorable sensations and experiences--including a festive market, sledding, and nativity scene--connected to those bright hues. Matthew draws his readers into a whirling ribbon of the familiar reds and greens of Christmas, as well as other festive hues, including white, gold, blue, and brown.
Christmas is RED.
It's a bright shiny sled.
It's candy canes,
and toy store lanes.
It's sprinkles on sweet bread.
All the colors come together when readers are reminded that Christmas is YOU--you're a part of the story, the joy and the glory! Matthew shows us again and again that the holidays are nothing without being with the people we love, celebrating treasured traditions, and making new memories--all in vivid color.
Christmas Heroes! by DC
Celebrate the holidays with super cute versions of Batman, Wonder Woman, and your favorite DC Super Heroes in a brand-new board book series for toddlers.
Batman is making a list and he's checking it twice: The Joker is naughty and Supergirl is nice! Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and the DC Super Heroes--and villains--have never been more adorable in this sturdy board book that's perfect for the holidays!
A Very Quacky Christmas by Frances Watts
Samantha Duck is getting ready for Christmas and her friend Sebastian thinks she's silly. After all, he says, Christmas isn't for animals. But Samantha knows that Christmas is for everyone and sets out to make sure that all the animals have a very quacky Christmas (and a tortoise new year).
The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore
A classic tale comes to life in this new edition of The Night Before Christmas.
This wonderful new edition of Clement C. Moore's classic "The Night Before Christmas" is a perfect holiday book. Families who read the poem every year will now enjoy this beautiful hardcover edition. Moore's poem, faithfully reproduced here, is accompanied by Kai Wuerbs's stunning illustrations.
Happy Friday, and happy reading!
