Annotation: "Christmas Eve Blizzard" is the tender story of a beautiful cardinal who is trapped in the snow until a young boy rescues him. Nicholas places more importance on caring for the injured bird than in decorating the Christmas tree or opening his gifts on Christmas morning. "Christmas Eve Blizzard" will truly touch your heart. It is a 2005 APSCA Henry Bergh Award Finalist and is an Accelerated Reader title. The "For Creative Minds" section at the back of the book contains information on how to make your backyard into a bird-happy habitat, several simple bird-feeder crafts, cardinal numbers, math games, and information on what to do if you find an injured bird. Sylvan Dell Publishing's website, www.SylvanDellPublishing.com, also contains "Learning Links" and "Teaching Activities" to help educators use "Christmas Eve Blizzard" in their classrooms and libraries.
