A classic, heart-warming and a popular story with a moral lesson about love and giving. This is a story about a young couple- Jim and Della who, in spite of having very little money to buy a gift for each other, found a way to give the perfect gift to their loved one, by sacrificing things precious to them. A great short story for children to teach the true meaning of love and giving.

The Gift of the Magi is based on the book by the same name, written by O. Henry, illustrated by Sonja Danowski. It is also a part of StoriesAlive subscription app.

▶ ENHANCE CREATIVITY BY PERSONALIZING THE STORY:
- You can write your own version of the text for the book
- Personalize the narration: kids or parents can record the narration to make it their own!

▶ DEVELOP READING SKILLS WITH THESE LITERACY TOOLS:
- Karaoke effect – Word is highlighted, when spoke during the narration
- Touch a word to hear it being spoken in “Read Myself” mode (almost like “training wheels” for new readers)

▶ THREE WAYS TO READ THE BOOK:
1) "Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style.
2) "Auto Play" - same as "Read to Me" except the page advances automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience.
3) "Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.
