  1. I really like the way this was done and the kids really got into the old fashioned pictures Basically, this is a set of popular Christmas stories told mainly through pictures that look like old fashioned postcards The last two stories Polar Bear at the Zoo and Christmas ABC are actual stories, where the other ones have very few words The pictures were beautiful and kept their attention and without a lot of words, it gave them the chance to tell their own stories using the pictures, something tha [...]
