Best Children’s Books for 5-7 Year Olds: Christmas 2023 Gift Guide

Books make for a wonderful choice of Christmas gifts for children and we’re here to help with some top recommendations of children’s books for Christmas 2023.

From timeless bedtime stories and curious information books to festive favourites and glorious gift books, we’ve selected our top recommendations of book gifts for children aged 5-7.  We’ve tried to include something for all tastes – look out for rooftop present deliveries, backpack-wearing penguins, ice-skating adventures and microscopic science in this year’s Christmas Gift Guide for 5- to 7-year-olds.

Whether you are looking for festive twists on classic favourites like You Choose: Christmas or chapter-a-day advent adventures like The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’s Christmas Shenanigans, we hope this guide will fill your little ones with festive cheer. We’ve also included KS1 popular favourites like Einstein the Penguin and classic story books like Pippi Longstocking, as well as information books for curious minds like Atlas of Animal Adventures and beautiful poetry compendiums to treasure, such as A Whale of a Time.
