Summary

Rabbit Ears Holiday Stories: Volume One enlivens and entertains with these classic holiday tales read by your favorite stars and featuring original music by some of today's greatest artists. Squanto and the First Thanksgiving—Here is a touching true story of a Native American named Squanto, who is captured from his tribe and sold into slavery in Spain. Years later, Squanto regains his freedom and journeys back to his homeland where he teaches the Pilgrims how to survive—culminating in the first Thanksgiving celebration. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow—New schoolmaster Ichabod Crane is at odds with local hero and bully Brom Bones for the affection of a local young lady.
