Beloved bedtime tales step off the page in the Childrens Book Character Christmas Advent Calendar, a 24-day countdown designed for family reading corners, libraries, and classroom holiday trees. Finished in winter sky-blue with falling white snowflakes, a golden crescent moon, and snowy village rooftops, the vertical rigid paperboard collector box displays red-and-gold glitter-style lettering reading “CHRISTMAS WITH YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS” above green “ADVENT CALENDAR” typography. At the center of the cover, a star-topped Christmas tree brings together The Very Hungry Caterpillar on a snowy left branch, Curious George placing a gold star near the crown, The Cat in the Hat on the right branch, a Santa-hat green crayon and elf among open books, Pete the Cat holding a wrapped present, a horned Wild Thing monster, Elephant and Piggie exchanging a green gift at the base, and The Good Egg below The Pigeon.
Twenty-four three-dimensional picture-book character ornaments bring classic childhood stories to branches and reading shelves.
Mo Willems Favorites, Pete the Cat, and Animal Tales
Every three-dimensional sculpted ornament inside the 24 compartments includes a molded top hanging loop ring and golden suspension cord for evergreen branches:
Contemporary Picture-Book Icons: Light-blue Elephant (Gerald) in round glasses and a red Santa hat shares a warm hug with pink Piggie in a Santa cap, while blue Pete the Cat pops out of a yellow-and-orange brick chimney balancing five stacked gift boxes. Accompanying them are tan oval The Good Egg in black glasses and a red-and-white striped knit beanie, blue Pigeon with yellow Duckling in Santa hats, and “No, David!” climbing a decorated Christmas tree.
Classic Animal Storybook Friends: The mouse from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie wears a green holiday jacket and Santa hat while carrying a white plate of decorated cookies, The Very Hungry Caterpillar arches atop four wrapped gifts, Curious George holds a yellow banana inside a red-bowed holly wreath, Clifford the Big Red Dog sits in a Santa hat beside a snowy tree, and The Rainbow Fish shimmers in blue, violet, and teal scales.
Teachers, librarians, and parents can hang each daily reveal on a tabletop tree and pair the ornament with that evening’s read-aloud story.
Storybook Ensembles, School Buses, and Bedtime Heroes
Multi-Character Vignettes & Literary Badges: Group sculpts feature a blue-titled “Dr. Seuss” ornament uniting The Cat in the Hat, Horton, the Grinch, Sam-I-Am, and Thing 1 & Thing 2, a “Where the Wild Things Are” crowned monster scene with Max, a golden carousel reading “Peter Rabbit” and “CHRISTMAS Tales,” a green pine wreath reading “the dot” with a painter mouse, farm cows and pigs on a red toboggan sled, The Berenstain Bears caroling, and a snowy lineup of colorful crayons with a candy cane and Santa.
Beloved Dressed-Up Characters & Vehicles: Rounding out the 24-piece set are Corduroy Bear in green overalls between gifts, Arthur Read wearing reindeer antlers and a yellow-and-red sweater, Olivia the Pig in a striped scarf and polka-dot coat, Gerald the Giraffe balancing gift stacks, a gift-wrapping hamster in a star cape, a red holiday roadster car, and yellow The Magic School Bus with a front wreath and green dinosaur Liz on the roof.
Close-up view of Gerald and Piggie, Pete the Cat in his brick chimney, the cookie-carrying mouse, and The Good Egg on pine boughs.
Uniting twenty-four iconic book characters in one countdown turns every December morning into a celebration of childhood reading.
