This story is quite slow. It's about a woman who decides to grow christmas trees. We followed her and the neighbor boys a few years until the first cut. The story is sweet, but a bit boring unless you are really interested in christmas trees. ( )

Author Mary Lyn Ray and illustrator Barry Root, who previously collaborated on Pumpkins: A Story for a Field and Alvah and Arvilla, join forces again in Christmas Farm. When Wilma decides she wants to try something different with her garden, the idea of Christmas trees comes to her. Enlisting the help of Parker, her young neighbor, she plants sixty-two dozen (744) balsam trees. She and Parker care for the trees, over the coming years, and although they lose some to frost, and to wild animals, they manage to sell 566 trees their first year...

I'm glad that my goodreads friend Manybooks recommended this one to me - thank you! - as I might not have picked it up on my own, given my mixed feelings about this author/illustrator team's Pumpkins: A Story for a Field. That would have been a shame, as Christmas Farm is an appealing holiday picture-book, pairing an engaging slice-of-(country)life tale with lovely artwork. I appreciated the inclusion of a brief author's afterword, where Ray discusses the history of the Christmas tree, and its cultivation as a commercial crop in the United States. All in all, a sweet little book, one I would recommend to all young Christmas tree-lovers, as well as to those looking for children's stories featuring basic business and/or conservation concepts.

Christmas Farm is about Wilma who decides to plant and grow Christmas trees. With help from her neighbor Parker who is five, the same age as the seedlings, they begin on their journey of growing christmas trees. In the book Wilma begins by ordering 68 dozen seedlings. As each year passes more and more tress do not make it through the seasons. This book would be a great way to use literature during math. The end of the book also gives information about christmas trees and at what year they are the right size and mature enough to be cut for a christmas tree. ( )

I give this book a 5 star rating. On Christmas Eve, a family gets ready for bed when the father suddenly hears a noise outside and spots Santa’s sleigh in the sky. The author describes how Santa goes to each house and unpacks his presents. The father spies on him the whole time and describes his encounter with Santa Claus. This book a great book to get students excited about the Christmas holiday. This book could also be used to go over elements of poetry. This picture book uses a lot of rhyming schemes. ( )

Wilma plants her seeds and flowers every Spring, but one day when it was around Christmas, she wondered how everyone would get a Christmas tree. She decided to plant Christmas trees with the help of the little boy next door. Parker and Wilma worked hard for seasons until the trees were ready. They sold a lot of them, and then more were to grow up. ( )
