Author: The Curto Family and Rusty Fischer
Review: This
is a sweet little picture book about a Christmas Tree. He grows up on a Christmas Tree farm and
dreams of being taken home to make a family happy over the holiday season. At 24 pages it is a quick read to your
children and the large colorful illustrations will keep them glued to the
story.
I enjoyed the story and
so did my kids. I think the message of making others happy is a wonderful one that all of us can learn to do. Giving really is better than receiving.
My only problem with
the story was that when we go to a Christmas Tree farm, the trees are cut down
not put into pots. I think that idea is
fabulous, but the tree would have to be a much smaller version then the ones in
this book. Planting the tree after
Christmas would work in many parts of the world, but not here in the frosty north. The tree wouldn’t make it all those months in
a small pot in the house until the thaw.
