This is an enchanting story about a how a tiny evergreen grows into a Christmas tree and about what happens to him after the holiday is over. It is especially endearing, told by the little tree in a first-person voice. With full page illustrations, this is a good read-aloud book.

The Littlest Evergreen is a story told from the Evergreens perspective. The evergreen reflects on all the occurrences that takes place throughout the season. From the days where it was just grass, it shows how nature begin to take refuge in its branches and how humans chopped down the trees for their christmas purposes. The illustrations boldly shows life throughout the evergreens seasonal adventure. ( )

Cole does it again for me in this story of a trees life, fist told in a narrators style, then shifts to the trees point of view. I love how he gives the tree a voice and feelings. I feel this is a great book at Christmas time to remind children that it isn't all about the glitter and bling, but nature, beauty of what is natural around us and how we can save it while still enjoying it. Lovely illustrations, and charming in verse. ( )

Beautiful story about respecting and nurturing life from the tree's perspective. ( )
