Synopsis:

It was the day before Christmas which means, it was Christmas Eve! It was snowing, so everything was white and the sky was so clear and bright. Icicles hung from the trees and snow flakes fell to the ground and most of the animals were fast asleep. But this year Santa was so busy, that he had to call upon extra helpers to deliver all the presents. And so, he called upon the ants. The ants set off on a winter adventure to deliver all the presents but can they make it to their final destination before Christmas morning?


Product Description

This story is an amalgamation of the first five stories written by Anna-Christina and includes an original classical soundtrack with a fantastic sing-a-long Christmas song featuring the whole cast of Music Audio Stories!

My Thoughts:

Christmas Magic is a delightful story where Santa needs extra helpers to deliver some of his Christmas gifts, so he calls upon the hardworking ants to help. This story sees many of the animals from the first five stories reappear as the ants travel to deliver the presents to their final destination.

The animals are all reminded that Christmas is about giving rather than receiving as they each help to make sure the gifts get to those to whom Santa intended.

The classical music behind this story helps to make the story come alive. It adds to the drama of the story. The actors who do the voices of the animals are extremely talented artists seen in other film and TV roles. Having different voices for each of the characters will maintain the interest and excitement of your child as s/he listens to this story.

I think Anna-Christina has created another winner in an audio-book for children with Christmas Magic. I give this audio story book 5 stars out of 5.


Thank you to the author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
