SAME OLD STORY EVERY YEAR

The cover of 'The Same Old Story Every Year'

'I have a surprise ...
This class is going to do the Christmas play!'

Maya longs to be in Mr Kelly's play!

She can already see herself on the stage, waving her arms around and saying her words so loudly everyone at the back can hear. Wonderful!

But then there's an unexpected problem ...


The More the Merrier gives a different view of Christmas, which older children will enjoy.
