Jewel-like paintings by two-time Caldecott Medal winner Barbara Cooney capture all of the season's warmth and mountain flavor.

 Rating: - lovely picturesMy husband and I went to the little town in NC that is the benefactor of the proceeds of this book. It was a charming place and as warm as the story in this book. The pictures are equally well done as the story. THis has become a permanent part of my Christmas book collection.

Ruthie is a small-town girl whose family finally receives the honor of choosing the Christmas tree for their town--and sure enough she and her papa find the perfect balsalm. However, war comes and Papa leaves. Ruthie and her mother have more worries than they expected.

He liked it so much, I ordered another one for a gift and it was also well received. Rating: - The Year of the Perfect Christmas TreeThis is a wonderful story that shows the importance of keeping family traditions alive and about the courage it sometimes takes to carry on in the most difficult of times. You will absolutely love Ruthie and will warm up to her really thoughtful and loving mother. This is a story very close to my heart since I grew up close to the Appalachian Mountains and remember how excited we were at Christmastime--- to just be together. Rating: - Christmas bookI bought this for my kindergarten granddaughter as her Christmas book. I wanted something a little different from the typical Christmas book and this one delivered. She really enjoyed the book.
