The Christmas Blizzard is a charming chapter book that captures the spirit of a classic tall tale, told from the perspective of an old man reminiscing about his childhood. Set in Lizzard, Indiana, during an impossibly cold and snowy Christmas, the story humorously exaggerates the effects of a two-week blizzard, even suggesting that Santa Claus moved his workshop to town. Ideal for children aged 4-11, it is a wonderful read-aloud that sparks imagination and introduces the concept of exaggerated storytelling. Parents will appreciate its cozy, nostalgic tone and the gentle humor, making it a perfect addition to holiday traditions.
Old Maynard Jenkins tells about the terrible blizzard that occurred one Christmas when he was a boy, when the weather was so cold in Lizzard, Indiana, that Santa Claus moved his workshop there and it snowed for two weeks straight.
