The Three Trees is a traditional folktale about three trees who have big dreams. One wants to be a treasure box, one a ship that carries a king, and one that wants nothing more than to just grow old on the hill. If you are unfamiliar with the tale, the trees are cut down and become a manger, a boat and a cross. Initially, the trees are disappointed until they realize that Jesus really is the climax of their dreams.
This particular version of The Three Trees is a beautifully illustrated story that my daughter has picked up and looked at on her own daily. It’s a large hardcover book with luxurious pages that are befitting of the quality illustrations. This book is very simply yet powerfully written and has the perfect number of words on the pages to keep a toddler from getting antsy. My younger one doesn’t have the attention span, but my older one could have at about 1-1/2 yrs.
If you are a book lover in need of a gift for a child, The Three Trees is a great one! It would be great for a child age 3-8 and I would probably buy it for a godchild even earlier :).
Thank you to the publisher for sending a copy of this book for review!
