This sweet picture book story is about a Christmas Tree who loves the tingling of her needles when a train roars, rumbles and zooms past.  She lives in the corner of a tree farm and is perfecrly content . . .  until,   one day when she is uprooted and brought into  the home of a young boy, set in the corner of the  living room and deocorated for the holidays.  Will she be happy there, away from the trains?  But the little  tree  is delighted when the young boy recieves a small train  for Christmas that runs around the base of her.   But now, what will happen to the Christmas Tree when the holidays are over?

A great book to read to children before and during the holiday season.  May  spark a discussion  about  whethor or not trees and other living plants and creatures really do have feelings too!

Colorful illustrations that fit well with the text. Not so over powering  that  so that they  distract a child from following the storyline.   This book is  different, clever, and  very appealing to a child.
