Let’s meet Storm’s siblings, Gale and Blast!
Lots of popcorn, a delicious chew bone, and plenty of glogg have all been prepared for an entertaining movie night. The problem is, Santa Claus, Storm and Magpie Mackie can’t agree on what to watch!
As they enter a heated debate we hear three stories, in which we get to know Storm’s siblings; learn about Storm’s first few days with Santa; and hear Magpie Mackie’s cheesiest secret.
Reminiscent of traditional storytelling, Storm, Gale and a Blast from the Past invites you to listen to three stories containing plenty of excitement, laughter and, above all, friendship.
This book is the second in a series about a Finnish spitz called Storm.

“Santa’s fluffy helper. This year Santa will arrive on a flying, electrical sleigh! When Santa shoots off into the sky, a parcel falls out of his sleigh, which the little dog Storm decides to find.
