also been lost in the storm.<br />
They are both soon rescued<br />
by Father Christmas himself,<br />

to the elf boy’s home. The<br />

with the elf family and together<br />
they have a wonderful<br />
warm Christmas. (Ages 3–6)<br />

It’s the last day of school before Christmas<br />
and snow is falling heavily. Johan<br />
heads to school on his sled, but he<br />

thing that happened yesterday—his family’s only cow died, and they have no money<br />
to buy another.<br />
The rich farmer Peter Jonsson has come to town today for the Christmas market. He<br />
buys a calf then, after spending some time in the local inn, loses it on the sleigh ride<br />
home! When Johan heads out to clear snow, what does he find?... Maybe he’ll have a<br />
happy Christmas after all.<br />
A charming story by acclaimed author Astrid Lindgren, set in a traditional Swedish<br />
landscape. (Ages 4–7)<br />

The Little Christmas Tree is the story of how a little pine<br />
tree in a deep forest becomes a beautiful Christmas tree.<br />
Once upon a time the little tree was not at all happy with its<br />
pointed needles. It wished instead for shimmering leaves of<br />
pure gold. But when its wish came true, a man came along<br />
and took away all of its beautiful golden leaves. Then the<br />
little tree wished for leaves of glass, but a mighty storm<br />
came, and all of its leaves broke into tiny pieces. Then the<br />
little tree wished for soft tender leaves, but a mother goat<br />
and her hungry kids came along and ate all of its delicious leaves. The<br />
little tree finally wished to have its own needles back because they were<br />
the best after all. And so it did, and now the little tree was happy and<br />
its joy shone through the whole forest.<br />
One winter night something very special happens to the little tree—a<br />
star tumbles down from heaven and lands on its top. A mother and<br />
her children and all the forest animals gather round in wonder at the<br />
little Christmas tree in the middle<br />
of the snowy woods. (Ages 3-6)<br />
