The following is a synopsis of:

"Twiglet" the Little Christmas Tree
Phyllis Mae Richardson Fisher

You and your child will be able to lay this 186 page, comb bound children's book flat to fully enjoy the large print, 49 full-page illustrations, and countless color clipart that fill this story of discoveries, miracles, and friendships. Cut out two bookmarks that are included to keep your place in this treasure book.

Read along as you go back to a time long ago, when a tree with a white top-notch shows up on a Christmas tree farm. You will meet Gran'pa Shepherd and his grandson Bright who own the Christmas tree farm and through "Twiglet" the Little Christmas Tree, you will meet twins Rueben and Rachel Oliver who live with their Gramma O in a little old cabin, down a little old lane, among the tall pine trees.

As the story unfolds you will help the twins look for "Twiglet" each year, discovering the friendships and miracles that happen when you lend a helping hand. You will sit in a one room schoolhouse as Miss Sarah teaches the children of Snowflake the valuable lessons in knowing how to read, write and do their arithmetic. Memorize the monthly sayings along with the children and keep a look out for Twiglet and the new friendships and miracles that fill all seven chapters.

Read on as Rueben and Rachel learn the awesome responsibility of taking care of their own horses, go on school picnics, participate in the towns' 4th of July celebration, and continue to look for the miracles and friendships that accompany the white top-notched tree year after year.

This synopsis is posted over at www.bookwire.com, where R.R. Bowker lists their recommended reading for children.
