Best Children’s Books for 9-11 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 adventure stories and curious information books to festive favourites and glorious gift books, we’ve selected our top recommendations of book gifts for children aged 9-11. We’ve tried to include something for all tastes – look out for nativity mysteries, reindeer rescues, children made of snow and super-cool bionic science in this year’s Christmas Gift Guide for 9- to 11-year-olds.

Whether you are looking for jolly, festive stories like The Christmas Carrolls or frost-filled adventures like The Ice Children, we hope this guide will fill your young readers with plenty of seasonal cheer. We’ve also included KS2 popular favourites like The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh and super fun graphic novels like Bunny Vs Monkey, as well as information books for curious minds like Space Maps and beautiful poetry compendiums to treasure, such as Tiger Tiger Burning Bright, which contains an animal poem for every day of the year.

The books on this list are also available to purchase from Bookshop or Amazon.
