Perfect for beginner readers aged 6 to 9 who want to find out fun facts about cute animals. Which is the world's sweetest animal ? A kitten, or maybe a fennec fox or a Japanese flying squirrel? There are lots of ways of being sweet. The animals in this book are large and small, round and thin, brightly coloured or black as coal. They fly, swim, climb, throw snowballs. This book will teach new facts to adults and children alike. The My First Reading Lion series offers books for the youngest readers – those who have learnt their alphabet and can read a bit.

Selma is 9 years old and orphaned. Her biggest wish is to have a family, and she writes just that in a letter to Santa Claus. Her letter finds its way to the elf village Snow Valley, and eventually Selma also ends up there, even though Snow Valley is off limits to ordinary people. Perhaps Selma isn't an ordinary person? Short after her arrival, dramatic things begin to happen. Santa Claus suddenly disappears and other forces start taking over. If Selma and her friends fail to find Santa Claus, all the good that he represents will disappear. Christmas itself could be at stake. Snow Valley is based on the manuscript to the most popular Christmas calendar TV-series through times on Norwegian children's TV. The book is written by Hilde and Hanne Hagerup, and beautifully illustrated by Ane Lysebo Gustavsson. This book is the perfect gift for anyone who loves Christmas!
