Customer Reviews for Thomas Nelson The Legend of the Three Trees Picture Book

Thomas Nelson The Legend of the Three Trees Picture Book

Once upon a mountaintop, three little trees dream of what they'd become when they grow up. The olive tree wants to be a treasure chest, the oak tree hopes to be a mighty ship, and the pine tree wants to stay on the mountain and point others to God. Each of their visions of fame and glory comes true--but in unexpected ways! This beautifully illustrated storybook encourages children to trust God with their dreams, and shows them that God has a unique plan for their lives, too! Recommended for ages 4 to 9.

My sister and her friend wanted a copy of the Tale of the Three Trees for Christmas. I read reviews about this book and thought it sounded better. I was nervous they would be disappointed that it was different, but they love it! They are so happy that I found this instead. We also got a copy for our family. It gave an opportunity for a great discussion. I am glad I found it here for a much better deal. I think I will be buying a few more for gifts.

This book is a great story. Not only children will enjoy this story but adults as well. Pictures are done in detail and nice sturdy book for the money. If you have any children on your Christmas list, they will enjoy the story of the trees that tells of Jesus birth and death.

I really appreciated having the e-book because I was reading the story to a large group of children. It was much easier for them to see the pictures than if I was just showing them the book.

I love this book. I have used the story many times during my long career in children's work. The message is timeless. Then this book was advertised and I just had to have it. It is gorgeous. It has been added to my selections of books which can only be looked at when Grandma is holding the book until you are old enough to be very careful of books.

I gave this beautiful book to my 4 year old for Easter. He loved it and it was very age-appropriate. It has beautiful pictures and the story is not overly long for a preschooler. This beautiful story is a great starter to teach your child what actualy happened to Jesus without scaring them. Great for kids age 4-8. Even my thirteen year old loved the story. Wonderful Easter gift to take their mind off the Bunny.

We love this story, but the illustrations in this version are not as captivating as the illustrations in the Hunt/Jonke version.
