Review of The Living Tree
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Living Tree" by Carolyn Cutler Hughes.]
Somewhere in a field, a tree undergoes a series of transformations to become a giant, beautiful tree. A small, tender tree soon grows next to this tree. The giant tree now has some obligations to fulfil until nature takes its course and a generational transition is made.
The Living Tree is a children's storybook written by Carolyn Cutler Hughes. I was amazed by the well-thought-out storyline and the inevitable natural processes and positive values it covers. I had a great time reading this book.
I liked how Hughes used this story to demonstrate active, responsible parenthood. I take it that such elements as sun, wind, rain, and snow are just representations, and parents are duty-bound to protect their tender children from harsh conditions to ensure their children's proper growth and development.
I appreciate the great job the author did in showing the place of the family in the making of any nation. The greatness, weakness, continuity, or extinction of any nation starts and ends with the family. Indeed, any nation will most definitely reflect as much as is invested in individual families.
The illustrations are wonderful. The paintings are clear and correctly represent in pictorial form some striking sections of the story. The word choices made in this story are simple and should make reading fluid for readers.
Children will learn some practical lessons from this storybook, like the inevitability of some natural processes. They will also get to appreciate the sacrifices parents make to ensure their comfort and wellness.
This storybook was professionally edited. I found just one grammatical error in it. I am delighted to rate this book five out of five stars because of the aforementioned positive aspects. I didn't dislike anything in the story, so there is no reason to rate it lower. I recommend this storybook to readers between three and eighteen years old.
