Adventure
The Little Mermaid. Chapter Two.

Hans Christian Andersen11–15 years
Adventure
The Little Mermaid. Chapter Three
Now human and close to the prince, the Little Mermaid bears her pain in silence while trying to help him. But when his heart chooses someone else, she must make a decision that will determine her true destiny.

Animals
The Bremen Town Musicians
Four very different animals —a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster— meet on the road just as their lives are about to change. They are no longer needed in their homes… but that doesn’t mean they no longer have a place in the world. Together, they set off on a journey to Bremen with a slightly crazy dream: to become musicians. Along the way, they discover that even if they’re not perfect, together they can achieve far more than they ever imagined… even face danger and find a new home. A warm and playful story about friendship, courage, and how sometimes the best destination isn’t the one you planned, but the one you build together.

Bedtime Stories
Hansel & Gretel
Hansel and Gretel follows two siblings living in extreme poverty whose parents abandon them deep in a vast forest when food runs out. Hansel tries to lead the way home—first with pebbles, then with breadcrumbs—but the trail disappears, and the children wander until they discover a mysterious house made of sweets. Welcomed inside by an old woman who is secretly a witch, Hansel is imprisoned to be fattened up, and Gretel is forced to work—until she uses her wits to push the witch into the oven, free her brother, and escape with treasure that brings them safely back to their family.
