Who can resist the tale of children enjoying the fun of building Frosty, when suddenly to their astonishment, he comes alive! The children in the neighborhood have never had a better winter of sledding, ice skating, and building snow houses, until one day, a warm wind blows. What will happen to Frosty? 8 1/2" X 11 3/4".

    In this delightful story, Santa wants time to play with all the wonderful toys he and the elves have made, but he’s just too busy–until Mrs. Claus gives him an idea! Disney animator Al Dempster and the Walt Disney Studio artists created a holiday classic now reissued as a Little Golden Book.

    After having a dream that Jesus will visit him on Christmas Day, Papa Panov, a shoemaker, blesses the lives of three passersby while waiting for Jesus's arrival.

    Every Christmas they invite their friends to join them for an elegant dinner party and a marionette show. The dolls have fun getting ready for their party: they send out invitations to their guests by Sparrow Post, decorate their very own Christmas tree with silver nutmegs and golden pears, and prepare doll-size cookies and other treats for the party. Then at "candlelight-time" on Christmas Day the guests begin to arrive, and the evening isn't over until the last carol has been sung around the tree.

    There are new people to meet and old friends like Tommy, Annika, and Mr. Nilsson to see again. Come join the festivities at Pippi's. "Sure to be a hit with Pippi's many fans as well as a nice introduction for the uninitiated." -- "School Library Journal"

    This book has the following lines: "When the Christmas Star is shining in the dark blue sky at night, / Did you ever start to wonder how it got to be so bright? / Well, some special little angels(just the very smallest size) / Use to have the job of shining all the stars up in the skies./An alarm clock rang at sundown--(when most children go to bed!) / Waking Pigtails, walking Crewcut, waking little Touslehead." Note: there is a current version available with illustrations by Charlot Byi, though not will all the original ''extras'' like the manger scene and the whistle.

    This oversize format features Scarry’s earlier, more painterly style and makes a perfect gift. A true holiday treat for Scarry fans!
