This was a pretty solid book. While fairly secular in nature, the goodness of Mr. Crockett and his hard-working nature and patience and all great qualities to have. Plus, I'm rather a fan of championing the underdog plants, especially the unloved Christmas trees. It became special to others because the love that Mr. Crockett gave it (and, truly, his whole home) shone through.

My Favorite Picture:
The tiny tree in Mr. Crockett's window when he first took it home.

so maybe it is lacking in some plot details and development, ok yes, i agree, but it gave my Grinch-ish little heart a hug this holiday season and so we are pals now, this book and i.
.
(three stars for lost potential but five stars for the completely adorable illustrations. *melts*)
