Book Review - Childrens Books - One Little Christmas Tree - The Curto Family and Rusty Fischer


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.
