Short Stories for the Young and Old was created almost entirely from the author's imagination. There are two Christmas stories in this book. One is about a tree that wanted to be a Christmas tree, but it seemed to have a hard time. The second is about a lost decoration that was very important to a little girl. After talking it over with my husband, the author decided Pixie may want to be part of another story. So in this story, Pixie is a detective This gives her another responsibility, outside of being a service dog and guide protector.
The last story in this book is primarily for older readers. It is a mystery story, partially based on fiction, but mostly on an unbelievable experience the author had. Enjoy
