This review is from: The Tree That Came to Stay-Glb (Hardcover)

I just read a library copy to my 3 1/2 yr. old. The concept is good but the story progression, sentence structure and abuse of the comma did not make it enjoyable to read. Two other disappointments: 1) some of the Mom's responses to her children; and 2) the word "hate" used in place of "I don't like" by the children in the story. The illustrations are beautiful. Nancy Carpenter is very talented and she is the reason I selected the book. Other books we have read illustrated by Nancy Carpenter, Rapunzel, Little Red, Can You Dance Dalia? and Loud Emily.
