Fairy tales read at Christmas help to believe in a miracle, which we really miss in our everyday life. And kids, being more susceptible to different magic stories, simply adore listening to wonderful Christmas fairytales for children in the evening before going to bed.
Tales of the Nativity of Christ
"Christmas porridge" Sven Nordkvist
An unparalleled "warm" and spiritual story about the life of gnomes and people. Under Christmas, people forgot to put the dwarves a traditional plate with porridge, but the way out of the situation was found by the diplomatic mother of a gnome. Beautiful pictures, details of the interior, drawn and described in the smallest details, will take the kids far, far to the land of fairy-tale characters.
"Christmas in the Petson's House" Sven Nordkvist
A story for younger schoolchildren about two friends Petson and a small kitten Findus. Just before the holidays, one of them twisted his leg and can no longer walk behind the tree and prepare for Christmas. How to be? Who will help friends on this day not to be left without a festive dinner and a decorated Christmas tree?
