The characters are believable and charming. The names given the characters suit them perfectly. Bowling encourages young readers to be kind and giving rather than greedy and selfish. Readers young and old will be inspired by the joy and hope of the Christmas season. Its message echoes, The Little Engine That Could. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be imbued with the Christmas spirit." - </em><strong>B.R.A.G. Medallion Reviewer</strong></p><p><em>"This is a wonderful book with terrific illustrations... I definitely would recommend this book and will be considering it for gifts for some young family this Christmas." - </em><strong>B.R.A.G. Medallion Reviewer</strong></p><p><em>"Hands down one of the best Christmas books I've ever read. Everything about it is perfect. The main character is adorable and an underdog you can't help but cheer for the whole way through. The illustrations are very professional and exactly the right style to achieve that Christmas/wintertime feeling. The writing is great and presented as if it's a story all the trees in the forest want to hear every Christmas and at the end it even leaves you wondering if it's just a story or perhaps based on real events adding that little hint of magic that comes with some Christmas stories. All around excellent book, it even incorporates Santa sneakily into the story. And Santa is the mysterious, magical character he's supposed to be, not the silly sometimes ridiculous guy he's often portrayed as in books for comic relief. Absolutely loved it, this one has potential to become a classic down the road... two thumbs up from me." - </em><strong>Children's Bookshelf </strong></p><p><strong>5 Stars</strong> "Stephen G. Bowling's picture book story, Calvin the Christmas Tree: TheGreatest Christmas Tree of All, is a charming story for young readersthat emphasizes some of the key elements of the meaning of Christmas...I found this story touching and heartwarming and I would certainly wantto share it with younger members of the family every Christmas.Beautifully told and the illustrations are classic - this book is akeepsake." - <strong><em>Readers' Favorite Book Reviews </em></strong></p><br>
