5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone can learn from the village people of Chelm, March 7, 2004

By	catherine davis (Bangor, Maine) - See all my reviews

I love this book, and read it every holiday season to my own kids. The story of the Chanukkah tree is about traditions and attitudes. The foolish people of Chelm have been sold a "Chanukkah Tree" by a clever vendor, who persuaded them that "Chanukkah Trees" are all the rage in America. And, of course, who in Chelm wouldn't want something so American and trendy as a Chanukkah tree? When they later find out they've been duped, humiliation is transformed to joy and delight when perspectives are changed by a simple turn of events.
