Synopses & Reviews
This Christmas, Beth knows there won't be many presents under the tree. Mama and Papa can't afford to buy new toys, and the Christmas tree looks bare. Allie the spider, who lives in a window corner in their house, wishes there was something she could do to make Beth's holiday a little brighter. Late on Christmas Eve, after the family has gone to bed, popcorn strings encircling the tree inspire Allie to do just the right thing to bring sparkle and magic to their Christmas morning. This sweet holiday story shows, with tender and festive illustrations, that family, friends, and kindness are the best gifts of all.
