This story is a great reminder that even in tough times, a family that works together will always be blessed. A poor Russian widow has seven children and very little money. She washes and mends clothes for the wealthy families in town. But what she earns is barely enough to feed her family. Then one evening when there is barely anything left in her pantry she makes seven popovers. She gives the popovers to her children for breakfast and leaves to work in town. But the children don’t eat the popovers and that’s when strange things begin to appear in the house.

The story of the Lorax is great for kids and adults alike.

This is a great holiday story. Gus and Grandpa love baking Christmas cookies together. They get goofy when they’re together — they yell at the dough when it sticks and they both eat it raw from the bowl (doesn’t everyone do this?). Their relationship is really special. But the best part of the story is the lesson Gus learns about sharing his abundance with those less fortunate. Your kids will love it.

This is a cute story about a Royal family that has thirteen daughters. Their littlest daughter, Gunhilde has no partner when all of the siblings buddy up for activities and chores. Her lack of companionship leaves her distraught. One day, the queen sends all of the girls off for a walk in the woods, with very specific instructions to NOT bring home any pets — as they have many at home already. Lonely Gunhilde decides to bring home a dragon and hides her in the castle. The story gets really interesting as Gunhilde tries to keep the dragon hidden.
