When the holidays come around, this book can be great for older students between 7-9. The story provides a warm feeling for children. It relates to the excitement children have to put on the star on the tree. It is not to complex but use more high frequency words and longer sentences. It is also a good way to engage between parents and children during the holiday. ( )

Story about a little evergreen tree on the edge of the forest. You'd assume it was ignored because it was surrounded by big trees. Animals found use for it, and Peter and his Dad decided to decorate it for christmas. Peter came back every year to decorate as it grew every year. ( )
