Leon in Wintertime

Animation, Canada, Pierre-Luc Granjon and Pascal Le Notre, 2007, 27 min

Winter has descended on the kingdom and a mountain ogre has kidnapped beautiful Molly Gingerbread, the king's daughter. Meanwhile, Leon, a young bear adopted by a family of beekeepers, runs away from home, falls in love with the princess, and lands himself in all kinds of unexpected and perilous adventures.

Spot & Splodge in Snowstorm

Animation, Sweden, Uzi Geffenblad and Lotta Geffenblad, 2008, 7.5 min

It snows outside and Spot and Splodge run about building a snowman, having a snowball fight, and making snow angels. All of a sudden the wind is strong, the snow sticks all over their bodies, there isn't a spot of Spot to be seen! And where is Splodge? Where's the house?

Choo-Cha

Animation, Russia, Garry Bardin, 1997, 25 min

A young boy is ignored by his parents and the other adults at a festive holiday gathering, and there are no other children to play with. So after concocting some minor mischief for the grownups, the boy retreats upstairs to the attic, where he rummages through odds and ends to create a special playmate for himself.

Author Reading: Uma Krishmaswami Chachaji’s Cup
Please join us for a special children’s event as Barnes & Noble and Making Books Sing presents Uma Krishmaswami reading from her book, Chachaji’s Cup. It’s a special event you won’t want to miss!

Chachaji’s Cup is a gentle tale of family love and the power of memory, brought to life with richly hued paintings. Neel loves listening to Chachaji’s stories over steaming cups of tea. Chachaji’s tales of great Hindu gods and demons, and of his adventures in the Indian Army, leave Neel openmouthed. But it is the tale of his great-uncle’s favorite teacup that teaches Neel the most, for Chachaji’s cup holds far more than sweet, spicy masala chai. It holds the story of a family and a country split in two during the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan. When the precious cup and Chachaji’s health both prove to be more fragile than they look, Neel knows what he must do.

Chachaji’s Cup by Uma Krishnaswami, Soumya Sitaraman (Illustrator) (Hardcover)

Note from BigAppleMommy: This is a great annual sale for shoe addicts. The wait is very painful but worth it if you love shoes. Lines are always one or two blocks long and it moves very slowly. We’ve gone a couple of times in the morning/early afternoon and waited approx. 2 hours each time. Be prepared—after you get inside, it’s frantic with shoe addicts grabbing everything in sight. Take a friend—you’ll shop better with a partner in crime. And bring a mirror. The website doesn’t say this, but kids, babies and strollers are not allowed in and all sales are final. Go if you have some free time or want stylish shoes/boots at nice prices!
