Fiction
While the conclusion falls short of the strong setup, this book stands alongside other well-crafted titles on bullying, such as Dori Hillestad Butler's The Truth About Truman School (Albert Whitman, 2008) and Preller's Bystander (Feiwel & Friends, 2009).
This gentle story works as a seasonal primer for the very young, but those with more experience may express incredulity at the length of time the tree hangs on and—after all that—the low-key situation motivating his change of heart.
Baby/Toddler—A string of similes offers an introduction to the colors as seen by Hills's endearing birds on a wonder-filled trip outdoors...
This is a solid adventure with a provocative message about cultural and environmental preservation.
Expect to serve up second and third helpings of this delectable read-aloud delight.
Whether this is a reader's first experience with the tale or they are already familiar with the story, they should be delighted by this rendition.
