Snowglobe Square
Inside a giant snowglobe on a toy-shop shelf, a cozy old-town Christmas market runs on stories, and the words have been jumbled. With Oona, the gentle snowy owl who runs the post office, children deliver letters by their clues, pick the perfect gift from a shopper's hints, follow and fix recipes at the cocoa cart and bakery, light Lantern Lane by working out tricky words, and read a carousel story before the Midnight Glow brings the whole globe back to life.
