When we take all of our ornaments out each year, we have lovely memories of them. They are each special and bring something unique to our tree. In The Living Christmas Tree the special ornaments are more than a little special. They come to life at night!

This is a great Christmas story that brings personality and fun to the ornaments on the tree. My daughter enjoyed seeing what kind of trouble the ornaments got into, how they played and spoke to each other, and how they kept their secrets from the family.

The illustrations are a lot of fun, and really bring the story to life. I thought that the story was really good, but was maybe a little too wordy for the target audience. Overall though, it’s a fun story, and perfect for a holiday read!
