BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Mr. Willowby’s Christmas tree has not arrived and it is Christmas Eve. Bear sees Willowby’s plight and decides to remedy it. After Bear cuts down a tree, however, he has to deliver it. So he decides to ride it down the mountain. Along the way Bear “picks up” more passengers along the way.
Mr. Willowby’s second book is published posthumously by Barry’s son. If you’ve read the first book, this action is like the opposite - the tree gains more riders as it goes. While it didn’t hit me as forcefully as the original, it still is a sweet Christmas story.
