The Treasure Tree: Helping Kids Understand Their Personality

Summary: Kids find comfort in this fun-filled book
Review: I bought this book for my nephew last year, mainly because I thought his parents would get a kick out of it. My nephew is a very hard-worker, and he loves to please his parents. My neice, however, is rather strong-willed and fearless. They are so different that it has become a family joke. As my nephew, age 5, read this book, he found a message in it that has given him courage as well as an understanding of himself and the other people in his life. A year later, this is still his favorite book. He tells me about all of the characters and what each of their strengths are. I think it has helped him in his understanding of his own talents and gifts, and the idea that just because you may not excell at one thing that doesn't mean you are untalented. What a wonderful message for children. I am amazed at my nephew's ability to tie this to his own life, and I'm so happy that my gift gave him more than just a good story.

Summary: Read over and over again
Review: I have four kids.. age 8 - 11. I took this book on vacation with us, where we met up with friends who have 3 boys, 7 - 11. We read the book, over and over. I read it first, using different voices for the characters. Then, the kids read it aloud, with each child reading the chapter about the character most matching thier own personality. The results were hysterical.
This story touched each child so differently. Even the "cool" 11 year olds enjoyed the book, but even more, they enjoyed getting to know about the "psychology" of the different personalities. We took the identity test, and found the results very true! It gave a platform to discuss, at their level, how different personalities work together and against each other sometimes.
My friend's boy, (age 7) enjoyed the book so much, I had to leave it with him and buy another! Even two weeks after leaving that book behind, my children are referencing the personalities in this wonderful story.

Summary: The Treasure Tree is meaningful to kids of all ages.
Review: The Treasure Tree has touched my 3 year old's heart. We read a chapter before bed each night and she picks the chapter which she wants to hear. Even though the storyline is a bit advanced for her age, she seems to understand and delight in the theme of the value of unique personalities. And, as her Mom, I don't grow weary of reading this story to her for the 100th time because I learn something new each reading as well.
