Jolly Snow and Other Stories

These six stories, added to the Jane Hissey already available from Random House Tellastory, are ideal bedtime listening. Anton Rogers' sympathetic reading gives vigour and importance to the nursery world events concerning Jolly Tall, Old Bear and Little Bear. Old Bear brings home a tiny Tom Bear he finds inside a conker case; the toys try making artificial snow out of soap suds and cotton wool, but nothing is as good as the real thing. They have an inventive time dressing up for Christmas and Rabbit, who wants to be a snowman, puts a carrot on his nose.
