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?

of Viva Le Pink) as Butterfly the fairy. Belle Star (a
seasoned musician) as ‘No’ the squirrel. Rob Stitch (singer of

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.
