Christmas is right around the corner and Ebooks Minnesota has many Christmas and winter holiday-related books for all ages. These can be accessed via the Winter Holiday curated group. Within this collection are a few Christmas books in verse. Stories and picture books "written in verse engage young children in creating mental imagery through the auditory appeal of rhythmic language paired with expressive artwork." These books commonly have more white space and fewer words meaning that children may find them easier to read and less overwhelming. In many cases reading books in verse can be more enjoyable as well. The visual arrangement of words on the page in verse can have an aesthetic appeal and the rhythmic quality can be pleasing to the ear and contribute to a more engaging reading experience.
