The Christmas Tree

Rating:
Summary: Heart warming
Review: A truly beautiful book. It should be made into a film. It is a short book but packed with such emotion and warmth that I didn't want to finish it. It should be a Christmas classic. Beautiful written from a male point of view written by a female writer. The illustrator deserves praise for enhancing the feeling of the book. Congratulations to both.

Summary: A classic Christmas story for the whole family.
Review: As the chief gardener of Rockefeller Center in New York City the narrator of our story has a colossal job ahead of him each year at Christmas Days end. Another year begins and he is already scouting out possibilities for the next years most perfect tree to decorate the prestigious Center for all to take pleasure in.

It is when the perfect tree is found on the Bush Creek Convent grounds that his job gets just a little bit harder. Sister Anthony unfolds a splendid Christmas tale that will leave the reader with a story you will want to share with the whole family. I can see this book easily becoming a family tradition. Heartwarming and wonderful a 5 star Christmas tale for certain. [e-mail] 12/25/01

Summary: Just the Thing
Review: I am buying several of these books as Christmas presents this year. In the wake of September 11, I think a wonderful, magical story about New York City is just what we need. To believe again in beauty, magic and the gift of connection and love. It is a story about connections, relationships -- between New York City folks and their tree, Sister Anthony and the gardener, her tree, and her past. It is a wonderful (sometimes teary) story that makes us appreciate the magic that still exists in the world and is personified at its best through the wonderful Rockefeller Center Christmas tree!

Summary: A Charming, Well-written and Illustrated Fictional Story
Review: I really enjoyed this book which I found on our local library shelf, and intend to buy a copy for myself. It would make an excellent gift.

It is a gem. Charming, well-told story. Beautiful, pastel-colored illustrations that greatly add to the charm.

I once worked in the old Time-Life Building in Rockefeller Center, New York City, and looked down on the Christmas Tree eight years running, but I would have enjoyed this book if I had never seen the The Tree from on high and at ground level.

Review: I thought the book was a sentamental flick. It's a good quick book. I guess it was nice and interesting. Not quite boring but then again not the action-packed book. It was a heart warming story. Any age would like it, but it's most effective if you read it around Christmas Time.
