With all the excitement of Christmas season generated by decorations and advertisements, this collection of short stories evokes thoughtful contemplation of the symbols and personalities at Christmas. From the story of the bag lady to the small mountain boy who looked forward to the Christmas train, these stories paint pictures of the spirit of the season, and yes, some may provoke tears.

‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dave Pilkey


Get a Voki now!

Dave Pilkey has adapted Clement Moore’s classic poem for another holiday. The day before Thanksgiving finds eight boys and girls taking a field trip to a turkey farm. Although Farmer Mack Nuggett seems kind at first, the children eventually discover his horrible plan to kill the turkeys for Thanksgiving dinners. Smuggling the turkeys home with them, the children save the birds, who join eight families for vegetarian dinners.
