​
Ludwig the snowman has everything he needs to make him happy:
a sparkling head, a sturdy body, and a handsome orange nose that can constantly smell carrot.

The snowman has no complaints about where he lives, either: he stands at the edge of a little clump of trees next to a house.
There, he can chat with the forest animals and keep an eye on the kids who live in the house. 
But he has one wish. Can Ludwig’s Christmas wish come true?

Our Grandma is a Witch
Our Grandma is a Witch
Written by Leelo Tungal / llustrated by Regina Lukk-Toompere

My Grandma knows everything, so I think she is a witch! 
​A storybook for children to think about their grandmother!

I will tell you a secret now -I hope it doesn't make you too jealous. The thing is -our grandma is an honest-to-goodness witch!
No, Grandma is no bag of bones and she doesn’t have a tuft of hair growing from her chin like some other witches do.
Actually, she’s quite pretty – almost as pretty as I am.
...
sometimes, she concocts a magic batter out of ordinary flour, butter, eggs, and sugar.
She pours it onto an ordinary pan, smiles, and then says a couple of secret spells.

Joseph the bunny moves to a new forest with his parents, leaving his friends behind in their old neighbourhood-woods. Now, Joseph needs to find new friends. When he fails to find any by telephone, the bunny decides to take a look around his new surroundings. He meets a big bear cub, a silky-tailed squirrel, and a teensy-tiny ladybug. Each one of them is unique in their own way, but can the bunny be friends with them when they are all so different?

Some people cherish and cherish babies right from birth.  I personally would be ashamed to be bald and toothless and constantly do it in panties. But some of them do not understand anything at all, they can not even be ashamed: they will eat, spit and not apologize!
Some are simply unbearable from the very beginning.

I'm talking about my little sister. And how we all expected it!
In the evenings, my mother only knew that sewing and knitting blue clothes for dolls, Grandma was worried about shopping, and Papa started repairs in the bedroom. When mom went to get the baby, Helen and I drew a plush poster "Hello, Kristjan!". 
At first, my mother was going to give birth to a boy, but at the last moment she changed her mind and gave birth to a girl.
Who knows, maybe it would be wiser to give birth to a boy,
