Evocative...strangely loving...

Informative...a refreshingly peaceful change of pace from many of our frenetic Christmas stories.

Refreshingly straightforward.

Fascinating and understandable to younger children

Understated and satisfying...

An excellent, very informative book.

Interesting....By means of colorful illustrations and simple text this book gives children an excellent book about Christmas trees and where they come from.
