Look out, look out, Rotten Robin’s about, and this rascal is definitely on the naughty list.
With their bright red breasts and silvery songs, most robins are sweet and jolly. But there’s one who is always up to no good and his latest terrible plan is to steal Christmas. Presents, trees, decorations, food, songs...all gone. He even has his beady eyes set on kidnapping Santa. Will Rotten Robin get his wicked way or will the Christmas spirit finally take hold of the feathered fiend…

Pigeon has tried to drive the bus now he has his sights set on something far grander…Santa’s sleigh.
Christmas is a busy time of year for Santa and with lots of presents to wrap he needs to step away from the sleigh for a while. But that’s not a good idea with an excitable Pigeon lurking who is very, very keen to take Santa’s sleigh for a quick spin. It should all be fine though as Santa can trust you to keep on an eye on things, right? Just don’t let the Pigeon drive the sleigh. Are you up to the challenge or will you give into the ever demanding Pigeon… Far from the bustling town, Fir Tree has a quiet and simple life in the forest. The seasons change but for the evergreen Fir Tree the next day is the same as the last. His home is lush, wild and beautiful, but when his friend, the Robin, shares stories of her travels, he yearns for adventure too. The wish is granted when he is chosen to be the town’s Christmas Tree. But what will happen when the decorations have been removed and the festivities are over…
From the depths of winter comes a tale to warm the heart.
It is snowing in the forest and Little Reindeer, experiencing snow for the very first time, is mesmerised by the white wonderland. It is exciting until, whilst moving south for the winter, she becomes separated from the herd. Little Reindeer is lost and alone but not for long. A cheep. A flash of startling red. A fluttering of wings. It couldn’t be, could it? A robin, just like in the stories. With a sprinkling of winter magic to light the way, can the friends find Little Reindeer’s family… It’s Christmastime and a very important job needs doing. There are lots of trees at the lot but which one to choose? Slim and tall or short and squat? One with spiky needle clumps, scaly bark or sappy bumps? Long straight limbs or benches bent? So many trees, just smell that piney scent! Tree selected, drive back home. Now time to decorate, switch on the lights and admire with family and friends…
Before red-nosed Rudolph there was a little doe with a dream and her name…her name was Dasher.
Life was not easy for the reindeer family of Mr Finnegan’s Travelling Circus and Menagerie. After a hard day’s work entertaining the crowds, Dasher loved hearing the stories that mama shared. The one about the magical North Star was her favourite. So when she has the chance to follow it, she does just that. But North Star dreams have to wait when she stumbles upon a troubled Santa and a sleigh full of presents that need to be delivered. Dasher doesn’t know it but she is about to change Christmas forever… If there’s no room at the inn then there certainly will be at the Mistletoe’s house in Exeter Street.
It’s Christmastime in Exeter Street and Ben and Jane are thrilled that their grandma and grandpa have arrived. And they’re not the only ones who have come to stay. Relatives, friends, children, strangers, and even the the vicar have knocked on Mrs Mistletoe’s door. There’re guests everywhere; in beds, on window sills, on the dresser, in the bath, there’s even one in the kitchen sink. Will Father Christmas be able to find them all… On a snowy night, a little fox hunts for something to satisfy a hungry belly and a place to lay a tired head. Leaping and pouncing is fruitless until she tumbles through the snow and into the hands of a kind and weary old man with a great round belly and a fox-white beard. Fox’s new roommate is curious; he fills shelves with toys and receives a large amount of post. But who is? Will a Christmas Eve adventure uncover the mystery…
It’s a snow day but Charles isn’t interested in building snowmen, throwing snowballs or making snow angels, he has something far more important do. He wants to find a wish tree. His brother and sister are certain that they don’t exist but Charles knows otherwise. So, along with his sleigh Boggan, he sets out into the wintry woods to see what he can find. Up hill they climb and down hill they slide. There are plenty of animals in the woods but where is the wish tree…
A little owl discovers the true meaning of Christmas in a wintry adventure inspired by real events.
In a little town stood a house, and at the front of the house was a little garden, and in that garden stood a very big tree that was home to a very little owl. From high up in the branches, Little Owl can see the wonders of the world; the streams for splashing in, the forests to fly in, and lots of friends to play with. When Christmas comes to town and Little Owl’s tree is cut down, she’s certain that Christmas cannot be a good thing. But then she meets wildlife rescue worker Ellen, whose house is decorated for Christmas and mysteriously seems to be a retreat for feathered friends to hang out at. Surrounded by kindness, love and goodwill, Little Owl wonders if she has got Christmas wrong… |
