Good story but not worth a credit

This should be in the included free titles. 45 minute story doesn’t merit a credit.

Healthy, Refreshing Vegan Bend

This story is chock full of traditional values and good feelings. Two small kids both wise beyond their years head to grandparent's farm for a Christmas visit. Favorite pastimes are going to the small town library and enjoying visiting with grandparents and the farm animals. Boy has deep empathy for animals, and develops a special bond with a white cow who appears to be lonely. The siblings unite to help her out, with Grandma to the rescue. Ideal for kids and families and adults. No racy content at all, no strong liberal bend. Just family hanging out with family and working together to make the world a better place.

Excellent

This a great story about Christmas and the spirit of helping others. My kids loved it.

Sweet Story for animal loving kids

We listened to the audio version of this story while traveling over Christmas. It was a sweet story and well read.
