CALVIN THE CHRISTMAS TREE The Greatest Christmas Tree of All

Narrator Joel Richards perfectly introduces this charming new Christmas story. Stumpstinkle's Tree Farm is famous for large, lustrous trees, and each year the trees vie to be chosen for the farm's holiday sales. Listeners meet Calvin, the "littlest" tree, who tries his best to stretch and puff out in order to be chosen. Richards gives Calvin a chirpy voice, while older trees sound gravelly as they sometimes pick on and tease Calvin. Original music and impressive sound effects add to the mood. Sadly, on Christmas Eve, Calvin is left behind when the sales lot closes and a snowstorm strikes. But as they drive by, a boy named Raymond persuades his dad to rescue Calvin. Listeners will cheer as Calvin is planted outside Raymond's window, where he grows tall and becomes world famous. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
