A charming rendition of a German folktale specially written for beginner readers, featuring Santa, seven spiders and a Christmas surprise... It's Christmas Eve and all is ready for Christmas - until seven spiders cover the tree in cobwebs. Will Christmas Day be ruined - or can Father Christmas save the Day? Beautiful illustrations bring the sparkle of Christmas to this enchanting text, and the clear, easy-reading style is ideal for beginner readers. Includes fun puzzles at the end of the text to aid comprehension. Retold by Lesley Sims.
