KID STUFF

    The Tale of Three Trees
    Retold by - Angela Elwell Hunt
    Illustrator - Tim Jonke
    Publisher - Lion Publishing
    Price - $14.95

     Many of us are familiar with this folktale about the three trees who each knew what they wanted to be when they were grown up and how when it looked like their dreams were dashed - God really gave them the desires of their hearts!
 

    Favorite Features

  • beautiful, deep colors in the illustrations
  • folktale with an important message that will really touch hearts
     I highly recommend this book for classrooms and home.  If you have some creative people in your church you could ask them to develop a Christmas or Easter children's play based on this story!  Well done Angela, Tim and Lion!
 

    POSSIBLE WAYS TO UTILIZE;

  • Christmas or Easter play
  • parents could utilize at home and talk with children about times when it looked like their dreams were dashed only to discover God was planning something ultimately better
  • teachers could utilize in class to teach about trusting God
  • kids could learn the story in American Sign Language or mime
  • kids could make puppets and present the story to a younger class or for church
