When I was in second grade I loved The Elves and the Shoemaker, and I can remember watching the "film". Remember when we watched films that beeped so the teacher or a student could turn the knob to go to the next frame? That is still one of my favorite stories about people helping others in time of need. Everyone wins when that happens!
