El aprendizaje de idiomas en la infancia debe incentivarse a través de la lectura de cuentos infantiles sencillos. Hay que tener en cuenta que los niños aprenden por imitación por lo que cuanto ante se empiece menos dificultades encontrarán con los idiomas.
The Snowman cuenta la historia de unos niños que construyen un muñeco de nieve en una fría mañana de invierno en la que amanece todo completamente nevado.
Los niños, ilusionados, dan forma al simpático 'Snowman' que, por arte de magia, cobrará vida gracias a sus dos pequeños amigos. ¡Vamos a aprender inglés con este divertido cuento infantil!
The Snowman o el Hombre de nieve
It was nearly Christmas. Katie woke up and found that the world was white and magical.
She ran outside and danced in the snow. Her brother Eddie came out too.
They made a big round snowball and a small one. They put them together and made a huge snowman. On Christmas Eve they looked at the snowman. He waved at them. He was alive!
Hello, he said, it’s Christmas. Would you like a present?
Yes please! The snowman waved his arms. Silver crystal snowflakes filled the sky. It was so beautiful.
We must give you a present too, said Katie. They gave the snowman a carrot for a nose, a scarf for his neck, and a hat for his head.
Happy Christmas! they said.
The snow stopped and the sun came out. The snowman started to melt.
Goodbye, he said. Build me again next year!
The little Christmas tree. Cuento de Navidad en inglés
Once there was a little fir tree who wanted to grow up to become a Christmas Tree, so that he could go and live amongst the humans. The other trees that were older knew more about life with humans and told him that it was not really a good idea to be around humans. But the little fir tree did not want to listen to them, and soon he would go to live amongst the humans himself.
One day, a few children came along with their parents to search for a fir tree for Christmas that they could use to decorate their home. When the children saw the little fir tree they immediately loved it. So they took him home and placed him in their living room along with lots of Christmas decoration.
Once the decorations were complete, the tree lit up with thousands of lights. As Christmas was approaching, everyone enjoyed looking at the beautiful fir tree. The little fir tree got very happy and was sure the other trees had been wrong. To let others think he was beautiful, he started spreading his branches higher and higher.
Till January, the little fir tree was the main attraction in the living room and in the whole house. But then, the tree's needles started to fall off. No one wanted to look at him anymore or pick up the needles that fell. After all the celebrations were complete, the family decided to pack him up and store him in the cellar.
The little tree was very sad.
After a long wait, the little fir tree was one day taken out of the cellar and planted back in the soil. The fir tree was so happy to be back in the soil. He realized that the reason the family had kept him in the cellar to keep him healthy.
The next Christmas, he was dug up again and used in the Christmas decorations, and each year the trend continued. The little fir tree realized that the older trees had been wrong, and that humans too can be good.

Enseña a tus hijos el verdadero espíritu de la Navidad y comparte con ellos esta historia del nacimiento de Jesús en inglés: The Birth of Jesus Christ. Una estupenda forma de seguir mejorando el inglés y conocer el milagro de la Natividad.
Long ago, in a place called Nazareth, lived a woman named Mary. She was a hardworking woman who was always good to others. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, who was also good at heart. One day, God sent an angel to Mary, by the name of Gabriel. The angel told her that God was sending a holy spirit to Earth to help people that soul would be born as Mary's son, and she would name him Jesus. Mary was worried about how this was possible since she wasn't married, but the angel assured her that it would be a miracle from God. The angel also told her that her cousin, Elizabeth, who had no children, would also give birth to a baby called John, who would prepare the way for Jesus birth.

(CHORUS) (Bis)
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away.
This year,
to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special.
Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distance,
but you still catch my eye.
Tell me baby
do you recognise me?
well, it's been a year
it doesn't surprise me.
Happy Christmas…
I wrapped it up and sent it
with a note saying: I love you.
I meant it, now I know
what a fool I've been!
but if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again.
(CHORUS) (Bis)
A crowded room,
friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
and your soul of ice.
My God I thought you were
someone to rely on me,
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart,
a man under cover but you tore me apart,
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again.
(CHORUS) (Bis)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart,
a man under cover buy you tore him apart,
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
Las pasadas navidades
Feliz Navidad…
(ESTRIBILLO) (Bis)
Las pasadas navidades
te di mi corazón
pero al día siguiente tú lo regalaste.
Este año,
para ahorrarme las lágrimas,
se lo daré a alguien especial.
Gato escaldado, del agua fría huye,
mantengo mi distancia,
pero a ti todavía te intereso.
Dime cariño
¿ya no me recuerdas?
bueno, ha pasado un año
tampoco me sorprende.
Feliz Navidad...
Te envolví mi corazón y te lo envié
con una nota que decía: Te quiero.<
br /> Me trataste mal, ahora lo se
¡qué loco he sido!
pero si me besas ahora
se que me volverás loco otra vez.
(ESTRIBILLO) (Bis)
Una habitación abarrotada,
amigos con ojos cansados
me escondo de ti
y de tu alma de hielo.
Dios mío, supongo que sólo eras
alguien que confió en mi,
adivino que yo sólo fui un hombro donde llorar.
La cara de un amante con el fuego en su corazón,
un hombre en el que refugiarse pero tú me lanzaste lejos.
Ahora he encontrado el verdadero amor, nunca me volverás loco otra vez.
(ESTRIBILLO) (Bis)
La cara de un amante con el fuego en su corazón,
un hombre en el que refugiarse pero tú me lanzaste lejos.
Quizás el próximo año
yo tenga a alguien especial.
