3. The story takes place at a farm. There is a house and a barn with fields and woods nearby. There is a trail that leads through the woods. It is in the month of December around Christmas time. There is snow on all of the trees and blanketing the landscape.

4. Miss Jessica Slansky There are five main characters in the story. One of the main characters is Twilight; he was the white unicorn. There are three girls. Their names are Lauren, Carla and Anna.

7. Miss Jessica Slansky The problem is when Carla and Anna took Twilight out for a ride. Lauren left them to go catch sheep. They were not happy with Lauren leaving them behind.

8. Miss Jessica Slansky One event that I liked was when Carla, Anna and Lauren decorated and frosted cookies together. They decorated Christmas trees, snowman and reindeer cookies. They used green and red frosting and sprinkles.

9. Miss Jessica Slansky The other event that I liked was when they went to a Christmas sale. The sale had ornaments and gingerbread houses. Carla bought a red ornament for her grandmother. Anna bought a gingerbread house for her mother.
