The year 1940 is a very big year for Tomie-it's the start of first grade, and it's his first birthday in the new house at 26 Fairmount Avenue. It's also the first year that Tomie gets to go trick-or-treating with his older brother, Buddy. Then the holidays arrive, and Tomie has a part in the Christmas play. This Christmas is going to be great! But disaster strikes when Tomie gets the chicken pox. Will he be cured in time for the Christmas pageant? Join Tomie dePaola once again as he takes us back to his childhood and allows us to share the holiday season with his family and friends.©2008 Tomie Depaola; (P)2008 Random House, Inc.

My children, ages 6 and 8, love the Tomie dePaola audiobooks. The stories are simple and charming with just the right amount of humor and action. Tomie dePaola is not the most engaging narrator, but my children don't mind. They can relate to the everyday experiences of young boy 60 years ago.

Excellent audio entertainment ages 6 and up
