It's that time of year to relax by the fire and read one of your favorite Holiday books! From now until the New Year, Vooks is celebrating this festive time with some fun video storybooks that can be seamlessly integrated into school and home reading programs to help struggling young readers strive. Check out the details below from the PR department!
Vooks, the world’s first and only SVOD streaming platform bringing storybooks to life through animation, gets into the spirit of the season with the “Happy Holidays Collection”—a selection of festive favorites available for free on the platform.
The “Happy Holidays Collection” unwraps popular Vooks storybooks that will guide young readers through a wonderland of winter magic and imagination. Highlights include a trio of animated pop-up books published by Up With Paper and crafted by award-winning paper engineer Yevgeniya Yeretskaya, featuring animal friends decorating their Antarctic home with Christmas trees, candy canes, mistletoe, and more, as they prepare for the arrival of special guests from the South Pole in Arctic Christmas; as well as the classic Christmas tale The Nutcracker, bringing the legendary adventure of young Marie and her prized toy soldier to life with whimsical illustrations and iconic music from the beloved ballet; and Snowflakes, an inspiring and informative look at snowflakes as captured by “The Snowflake Man”—Wilson A. Bentley—the first person to photograph the intricate designs of snowflakes and share them with the world.
Additionally, readers are invited to join young Caleb as he learns the origins of Hanukkah, plays the dreidel game, lights the first candle on the menorah, and more in Caleb’s Hanukkah from Lerner Imprint Kar-Ben Publishing. Then, head to the North Pole and the Island Of Misfit Toys with Rudolph, Hermey the elf, and Yukon Cornelius, as the famed red-nosed reindeer earns his place at the head of Santa’s sleigh in Character LLC’s T.E.A.M. Rudolph And The Reindeer Games. And hop aboard the Christmas Trainas Santa and his elves teach young readers how to count in a unique Yuletide odyssey packed with snowmen, carolers, sugarplums, and more, published by Familius.
