There are plenty of Christmas tapes and cds on the market, but this production offers something a little bit different.
With a combination of stories, song and humour, this is great for Christmas listening at home as well as being suitable for the primary classroom.
On side one Sophie Lee reads the delightful Eloise at Christmastime, while Mark Mitchell, whose comedy will be well known to many parents, tells the hilarious tale of a Crisis on Christmas Eve. On the reverse side, Jane Clifton signs an Australian version of the Twelve Days of Christmas – A Bellbird in a Flame Tree, from the book by Kilmeny Niland, and Kym Lardner (and friends) add a fun, yet beautiful, version of the nativity story.
Christmas Stories for Kids is a great offering from ABC Audio and would be a thoughtful gift for the kids on your list.
