Perhaps it’s your child’s first ever ski holiday? Or maybe they’re so keen after last year that they’re impatient to get back onto the snow again? Whatever the reason, you’ll be counting the days until your next ski trip, so one of these books about skiing is bound to help while away the time for children (and their parents). Here are 12 skiing-themed books for young children, which could easily find their way into a Christmas stocking on under the tree.

These books can be bought from Amazon, Waterstones, the Book Depository and a range of other booksellers.

Squirrels on Skis

by J Hamilton Ray
First there was one, and then there were two. Three more came gliding from under the trees. They were squirrels on skis! Below lay the town, snow-covered and still. Not a sound could be heard. All was silent, until…eighty-five squirrels came by, and more on the way.

The townsfolk are not amused. Can reporter Sally Sue Breeze find out where the squirrels are getting their skis from – and make them stop skiing long enough to eat lunch – before pest-control guy Stanley Powers sucks them up in his vacuum device?
