stories for all time

Come & be enchanted by Peter LaGue's great illustrations to Ethel Pochocki's radiant stories of foxes & cats, dogs & rabbits, trees & girls, gypsies & mice, & the wealth of Christmas joy in The Mistletoe Girl; That's the Way It Was; The White Rabbit; How M. Philippe Spent Christmas Eve; Cat's Christmas; The Attic Creche; The Baker's Dog; A Christmas Tree for All Seasons.What I have always liked about this author's writing is its evocative, old-fashioned fantasy telling. Animals talk, trees have feelings, people think new thoughts. You will learn a little history, a little culture, as well as something about emotions -- amusement & worry. You will also have to think about "What if the same thing happened to me?"... & Ethel Pochocki will give you some ideas, in her inimitable style.RebeccasReads recommends THE MISTLETOE GIRL & OTHER CHRISTMAS STORIES. It is filled with compassion, beauty & the meaning of community...to be reread to your grandchildren's children.
