Summary

In "Santa Claus' Frolics," George M. Baker weaves a delightful tapestry of holiday merriment and childhood wonder through a series of whimsical poems and stories. Rich in its imaginative charm and playful language, the book captures the spirit of Christmas with a unique combination of humor and warmth. Baker's writing is characterized by its rhythmic cadence and vivid imagery, vividly bringing to life the joyful antics of Santa Claus and his merry cohorts. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, the work reflects the era's cultural fascination with Christmas traditions and the burgeoning commercialization of the holiday season. George M. Baker, a prominent figure in 19th-century American literature and a celebrated playwright, published this enchanting collection amidst a landscape that valued festive storytelling. His own experiences of joy and nostalgia during the holiday season influenced his penmanship, urging him to craft tales that resonate with both children and adults alike. Baker's affinity for the festive spirit, coupled with his theatrical background, imbues the text with a lively narrative that is both engaging and evocative. "Santa Claus' Frolics" is a splendid read for anyone seeking to rekindle the magic of Christmas through the written word. It invites readers into a whimsical world where Santa comes alive, and laughter fills the air, making it an ideal gift for families, children, or anyone who cherishes the joy of the holiday season.

    Eighth-grade aspiring journalist Indigo has a plan.  
     
    She’s determined to win back her two best friends, Abbie and Manning, who drifted away from her as they got more popular. So now Indigo is going to become popular too—by breaking an important news story that gets everyone’s attention.  
     
    Indigo’s reporting about an unfair school policy puts her in the spotlight, and her plan seems to work. Suddenly everyone thinks she’s cool. Including Abbie and Manning!  
     
    At the same time, Indigo stumbles upon a book by journalist and activist Ida B. Wells—with private letters written by Ida tucked inside. Reading about Ida’s life and work prompts Indigo to keep investigating her school’s policies. She soon finds out that the rules aren’t enforced equally. In fact, the harshest punishments tend to fall on Black and brown students. 
     
    When Indigo keeps reporting on this issue, her newfound popularity starts to slip away. Her friends tell her she’s overreacting. Classmates say she’s too aggressive, too negative, too annoying. 
     
    But Ida gets it. Ida spent her whole life battling racism. And as Indigo reads more of Ida’s letters, she realizes she’ll have to choose between keeping quiet and fighting for justice.

    Spid, Bid and Herman are about to blast off for an adventure on the moon. But what will they find when they get there? Is the moon really made of cheese? And does a moonster called Mr Cheezy Feet really live there?This audiobook features two songs: 'The Cheese Song (Mr. Cheezy Feet)' and 'Queenie'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
