Can you imagine a world without toys? or Christmas without Santa Claus?

Read this classic, but less well-known children's story, by L. Frank Baum, who wrote 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' of the life of Santa Claus, or give it as a charming, special, thoughtful Christmas gift.

Find out how little Claus was found as an abandoned baby and adopted by the immortal beings of an enchanted forest; and how, because of the kindness that was shown to him as a child, he develops a wish and mission to bring happiness to all human children; as well as how he develops his abilities to do so, through the influence of the magical beings, and the children he meets; find out how Claus starts making toys, overcomes fierce enemies, gets people to help him, and ultimately achieves immortality himself.

Makes a really special, Christmassy bedtime story for younger kids, although some old-fashioned words and phrases may also need to be explained during the reading.

    The pounding of horses' hooves shattered the night's silence. Harriet froze in the shadow of a tree and peered out into the darkness. She barely dared to breathe as three slave catchers came to a halt only a few feet from her hiding place. Had she escaped from danger so many times only to lose her hope of freedom now? At age six the sharp bite of a whip taught Harriet Tubman what it meant to be a slave. The other slaves scoffed when Harriet resolved to escape north someday. Little did they know that this girl would one day lead hundreds of slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Even huge rewards for her capture -- dead or alive -- did not stop Harriet from risking her life again and again in the fight for liberty as the nation spiraled into the Civil War. Whether running from slave hunters, advising generals, or improving condition in war hospitals, remarkable Harriet Tubman would not be satisfied until every person could experience true freedom.
