  • Silver Bells

    By Fern Michaels , JoAnn Ross , Mary Burton and Judy Duarte

    Read by Katherine Fenton

    Settle into your coziest armchair & enjoy four tales that will make your holidays merry and bright!

    "Bestseller Michaels (Hokus Pokus) headlines a quartet of heartwarming Christmas romances. In both Duarte's A Mulberry Park Christmas (which shares a setting with Mulberry Park) and Michaels's title tale, childhood sweethearts are reunited despite the pressures of adult life. In Dear Santa..., Ross (Impulse) strands mystery novelist Holly Berry in a blizzard-swept town, where she meets hunky hotelier Gabe O'Halloran and finds his five-year-old daughter is a determined matchmaker. Burton (I'm Watching You) contributes Christmas Past, in which widowed homicide sergeant David Ayden helps talented photographer Nicole Piper cope with the legacy of her late, violently abusive husband. It's a close fit, but each short story contains a full-fledged romance from first kiss to happy ending, both satisfying readers and encouraging them to seek out the authors' longer works." - Publishers Weekly

  • Click, Clack, Surprise!

    By Doreen Cronin

    Read by Maurice England

    Little Duck learns how to celebrate his birthday with a little help from all the other farm animals!

    "Cronin merrily describes their preparations in repeating language ("The chickens take a dust bath to look their best. They shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shake clean"), but the real fun comes as Little Duck mimics each animal, getting frizzier, dustier, and muddier in the process. It's goofy birthday fun that will probably have some readers shimmy shaking and slurp a lurping along with the animals." - Publishers Weekly

  • St. Patrick's Day

    By Gail Gibbons

    Read by Qarie Marshall

    A children's story about the background and legends of St. Patrick's Day.

    "In a book similar to those she's done for topics ranging from boats to birthdays, Gibbons offers information about St. Patrick's Day in an easily digestible text and a clean, colorful format. She covers the salient details of Patrick's life--his boyhood in slavery, his return to Britain, where he was ordained, and his life dedicated to the conversion of the Irish--and she highlights the symbols and happenings of St. Patrick's Day. At the conclusion, she describes some of St. Patrick's miracles, one to an illustrated box. The artwork, as one would expect, is heavily accented with green and is typical of Gibbon's work--simply drawn, yet full of zest and quite appealing for its audience. A festive addition to holiday shelves." - Booklist
