The Snow Village Bell
A storybook for your child
The Snow Village Bell — questions and answers
What is "The Snow Village Bell" about?
The bell has not rung for a hundred winters. Tonight it might. In MeStory's personalised edition your own child is the hero of all 24 pages. The book opens: Snow came down so softly that the village stopped making noise. Your child pulled on the red scarf and stepped into the white street. At the top of the hill stood the old bell tower, dark and quiet.
What happens in the middle of "The Snow Village Bell"?
Halfway through the book the adventure turns: Then they leaned, and pushed, and the ice let go with a crack. Inside, the stairs wound up like the inside of a shell. At the top hung the bell, wearing a cap of old snow.
How does "The Snow Village Bell" end?
It closes gently, ready for bedtime: The bell rang eleven more times, once for each lamp post. And your child went home warm, with snow still on the red scarf.

Ages 4–8. It is a 24-page picture book with one or two short sentences per page, written to be read aloud in about ten minutes at bedtime.
