The Life of a Christmas Tree by Richard Ham Pdf

as the title refers, this is a story about a living Christmas tree named Jasper. In the beginning, Jasper himself explains how he came to be from seed to sprout at his birthplace at Christy Farms. It is there that he makes friends with his growing tray mates and a large orange orb known as a pumpkin named Oscar. Jasper was a slow grower and known as the runt of the crop and had received grief for it. Over time he and one of his tray mates grew to be two of the largest trees at Christy Farms. Jasper, his fellow tray mate, and Oscar the Pumpkin win a local grow-off competition, which in turn sends them to the state fair. At the state fair, Jasper is bought at an auction by a casino mogul, and he is shipped to Las Vegas, where he experiences the life of being an official Christy Christmas tree. Through the days leading to Christmas, life was grand. Lots of attention was given to Jasper. On Christmas Eve late at night, Jasper makes friends with a special guy in a red suit that recognizes Jasper as a Christy tree. Jaspers newfound late-night friend promises Jasper a belated Christmas gift for an act of kindness Jasper had shown. After Christmas, the situation goes downhill for poor Jasper now that his job is finished, and life as he knows it seem grim. Read to see how Jaspers life turns out being a past tree of Christmas.

Little Christmas Tree by Jessica Courtney-Tickle Pdf

"Courtney-Tickle’s friendly digital illustrations teem with life, while the sparkly, snow-dappled trees and lift-the-flap surprises are pleasantly reminiscent of an Advent calendar." – Publishers Weekly (starred review) One white and snowy night, a little Christmas tree stands alone in the forest. Everything is white and lifeless. As the night goes on, there are signs of life: an orange fox, a red-breasted robin, a cloud of fireflies. By the end of the book, the little Christmas tree is transformed by nature. Another glorious lift-the-flap exploration of nature in the same series as Little Tree and Little Honeybee.
