A Christmas to Remember - Dear Canada Series
December 24, 1920 - There were big boxes filled with presents. Some tinsel too. We towed the boxes on our tobaggan, put them on the porch and skedaddled behind some bushes. We waited until a light went on and then we scurried away before the family could come out. I wish we could have waited a couple of minutes more, just to see their faces.
The Kingdom of Fantasy - Geronimo Stilton

And beyond the door was a world I never could have imagined -- the Kingdom of Fantasy! Along with my guide, a frog named Scribblehopper, I set off on an incredible adventure to save the Queen of the Fairies.

Could I save the Queen . . . and my own tail?
