"The perfect addition to your family’s bookshelf this holiday season."
Move over ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, we have a new holiday classic that will add some holiday cheer to your child’s story time!
Welcome back to the enchanted forest of S’moresville, where we join siblings Strawberryhead and Gingerbread during the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas! Join in the holiday fun as we read authors KF Wheatie and KM Wheatie’s latest installment of The Adventures of Strawberryhead and Gingerbread, The Magic Sleigh Ride.
Santa Brings Christmas Cheer
We begin our tale on Christmas Eve, finding Strawberryhead and Gingerbread decking the halls of their treehouse with twinkly lights and sparkling ornaments, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus. After the siblings bid each other goodnight, Santa Claus zooms across the world in a glowing red sleigh and lands on the siblings’ rooftop. Santa slides down their chimney, only to find the sweetest of treats and a lovely note.
Overcome with joy, Santa fills their stockings with presents and toys and takes his treats without making a sound. After sharing some treats with the reindeer, Santa guides his magical sleigh to take flight and continues spreading Christmas magic to other boys and girls in the frosty night. On Christmas morning, Strawberryhead and Gingerbread wake to find their home overflowing with presents!
The Perfect Holiday Gift
In this book, we are shown that the smallest act of kindness can have a large effect. In this case, Strewberryhead and Gingerbread’s sweet treats and kind note leave a sprinkle of “Christmas kindness” that helps Santa and his sleigh soar into the frosty sky leaving magic and wonder in its wake.
Not only does this series leave warm fuzzy feelings after reading, but it also teaches valuable lessons to your children through engaging stories, lyrical rhymes, and vibrant illustrations. It also grants young readers a touch of the Christmas magic — that can be enjoyed year-round!
Much like our beloved Strawberryhead and Gingerbread, authors KF and KM are siblings who use their life experiences to write stories that have a sincere message. The Magic Sleigh Ride is brimming over with joy, kindness, and warm wishes that will make the perfect addition to your family’s bookshelf this holiday season.
