The True Meaning of Christmas,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Light at Tern Rock (Puffin Newbery Library) (Paperback)
"The Light at Tern Rock" is an excellent book to read to your class or have your class read as a trade book during the holiday season. It teaches students to think of others at this time of year and not to always concentrate on themselves. It is suitable for third through fifth graders. It also gives the reader the feeling for living in a lighthouse and what life was like for these people living in desolation. It is an excellent history lesson along with a strong moral lesson. You never tire of the words year after year.

A Genuine And Touching Story,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Light at Tern Rock (Puffin Newbery Library) (Paperback)
This book tells the story of Ronnie and his aunt Martha Morse. The two are tending the lighthouse as volunteers so the official lighthouse tender can spend time with his daughter. They must take care of the Tern Rock Light until December 15. They must dust, clean, and take care of it. But the fifteenth of December comes, and no one is there to pick the two up. Will they have to spend Christmas in an isolated and remote lighthouse?In this wonderful book, Ronnie and his aunt learn that Christmas is beautiful anywhere, and the importance of a promise. This 1952 Newbery Honor Book is for ages 6-13.
