Description
Father Goose knows Christmas rarely goes according to plan. Fortunately, that gives him plenty of stories to tell.
This illustrated collection brings together twelve short adventures inspired by a variety of Christmas songs, stories, and seasonal traditions. Follow a sabotaged sleigh, a missing grandmother, a disappearing winter, and festival gifts that have gone somewhere unexpected. Meet a young drummer, a hopeful fir tree, and a wooden soldier whose secret mission takes a surprising turn.
The humor is gentle, the mysteries inviting, and the characters’ choices matter. They learn to ask permission, listen carefully, practice patiently, apologize sincerely, and welcome someone who has been left outside.
Written for independent readers ages 8–12, these tales are also suitable for sharing aloud as a family. Father Goose’s commentary gives grown-ups something to smile about along the way.
Included in the book:
• Twelve Christmas adventures and twelve full-color story illustrations.
• Father Goose’s introductions and three short interludes.
• A Guess the Christmas Inspiration answer guide.
• Sourced background notes in Behind the Christmas Inspirations.
• Twelve questions for discussion and reflection.
• A Write Your Own Christmas Tale activity.
