Sounds Like Christmas

When Grandma asks Lincoln and Georgia to decorate the Christmas tree, she has no idea what she's getting into.

Grandma is baking Christmas cookies, so she asks Lincoln and Georgia to decorate the tree. They put on the lights, and the garlands, and the balls, and the candy canes. Then Olivia runs upstairs and brings back a toy bird. She puts it on a branch, turns it on and it goes TWEET TWEET TWEET.“HA!” says Lincoln “I can beat that.” He runs to his room and gets his sound effects keychain, hangs it on the tree, and makes it go ZAP ZAP ZAP.

In no time the competition creates a cacophony, with the neighbour’s dog and eventually both Grandma and Grandpa yelling on top of the tree. Eventually Grandpa points out that no adults means no Christmas presents — but the kids point out that Santa is sure to come through for them,and they head off to go to finish off the Christmas cookies and to go bed to wait for Christmas morning.

ROBERT MUNSCH started telling stories when he was teaching in a daycare, to get the kids to settle down. Every one of his stories was first told aloud to children — and each one is dedicated to the kid who inspired the story. He is a member of the Order of Canada, has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, and is a hero to generations of young readers.
