Hello and welcome to super great kids' stories, wise tales from storytellers around the world, which will make you laugh and sometimes

cry. Recommended for ages 5 to 105. I'm Kim and I love stories. Hello, super great kids. Happy December. It's that magical month of snow. Okay,

sunshine if you're in the southern part of the world, but here snow and celebrations.

Very soon, it's Hanukkah and then it's Christmas and that means listening to fairy tales.

Today we have a tale called lettuce, which was inspired by the German story The Frog Prince.

It's about a silly princess, a smart servant and a prince and it's told by storyteller Rosalind Buck.

Did you have a happy week, Super Great Kids?

I went cycling along the River Thames on a cold, sunny day, and I stopped to warm up in the sunshine

and watched families buying Christmas trees.

Another thing which is making me happy this week is that I'm really looking forward to having

a very special guest attend our midwinter magic online show, which is happening in just over a week's

time.

Her name is Sheila Arnold, and she's a really talented storyteller from the US.

She told us the story about The Weeping Willow.

I just wish I could turn colours.

Yes, that story.

It's one of my favourites. So do join us, Jason Buck, Amy Douglas, me and Sheila Arnold at the online midwinter magic show on Saturday, December 13th.

You only need one ticket for the entire family, that's £12.50 or about

$16.50 in US money, in total. Or if you're busy, you can download it and watch it later.

And more exciting news, as the celebration month is upon us,

in Australia and New Zealand, our book will be published

and hit the shops this Thursday, December 4th.
