The Prince Who Wouldn’t Talk is a cute tale by James Brock, and is the story of a King and Queen who suddenly realize that their son doesn’t talk – and their efforts to cure him. Nanny Claus: The North Pole Nanny is written by Andy Beck and Brian Fisher.  This tale is about an Elf family, and their children who keep causing all their nannies to quit – and the wonderful solution to the problem.
