Today we went to the library after running a few errands. The last book we picked off the shelf was Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen: A Christmas Pageant, adapted by Richard Kennedy. Zorah has read many versions of this story, but this one was in play format, which I thought would be a nice change from traditional stories. Plus, there is always the option of acting the play out with all her dolls and toys.
The book is 85 pages. I guess it took her about two hours to read at most. Here are her thoughts. I tried to ask some questions to get more information from her, but she'd had about enough summarizing already.
"The imps and the angels battled at the end. The angels were on Gerda and the reindeer's side. I liked it better than the other ones because it had much more story in it. But also because the imps battling the angels was in it. Kai is the same. Kai and Gerda act the way they do in all the other Snow Queen stories."
