Goodreads Synopsis:
It’s the size of one’s heart that matters most in this heartfelt Christmas story for young readers!Alex the Christmas tree is teased because he is the smallest fir tree in the tree nursery. He can’t hold as many ornaments, he can’t stand as tall . . . Alex isn’t sure any animal family will want him as their Christmas tree. When the families come to choose their fir tree, Alex isn’t noticed at first. But then Selma, the smallest rabbit of all, discovers him. The rabbit family takes Alex home, and they all celebrate and sing together–even Alex, the littlest Christmas tree with the biggest holiday spirit!Swiss best-selling author Thomas Meyer tells the story with humor and a big dose of Christmas spirit. Philippe Goossen’s pictures create a warm mood, and his characters win hearts–big and small.
Review:
This is a cute illustrated children's book about a little Christmas tree.
All the Christmas trees are learning how to be the best Christmas trees...with decorations, singing etc to prepare for the holiday season and families coming to get one of them.
Kurt is the biggest but he is also a bully and makes fun of Alex because he is 'too small' to be a Christmas tree. When all the trees get picked, Alex is all alone and he starts to think that he really is just too small. Then a family comes for him, one of rabbits, and Selma is the smallest rabbit. They sing and have a Merry Christmas.
This was a cute little book about believing in yourself and you shouldn't take what bullies say to heart. There were adorable woodland creatures and the talking singing trees are so much fun. I love books about the holidays and this one was cute, whimsical, and will be a fun addition for the family.
