A Wish to Be a Christmas Tree April 20, 2008
My daughter brought this book home from her school library and both my husband and I were touched by this book so much that we ordered a copy for our family. This a great book for teaching the true meaning of friendship to all ages. I would recommend this book for anyone who works with children. It will be a tradition in our house for a long no matter what the season.
Sweet Christmas story for little kids January 2, 2008
This is a wonderful book. My grandson loved the story and wanted me to read it to him many times. A nice twist on the sometimes touchy subject of cutting down a tree for Christmas.
 Consider age of child January 1, 2008
I loved this book but from the cover art to the copy there is a tone of sadness. I bought it for a niece who is particulalry sensitive and it bothered her from the beginning. While I stressed the 'happy ending' the cover art really held her captive but in a sad way. It is a beautifully illustrated book but just know the child you are buying for. She is 6 and capable of understanding the difference between a book and reality so I tried to make it a teaching moment. Sadness is a real emotion so we talked about it in the framework of how life can be sad but it also often works out just fine.
wonderfully illustrated December 20, 2007
A very nice story, with great illustrations. Good for all ages. It's not often that you see a book this meaningful, finished off so nicely.
