The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree: An Appalachian Story, with words by Gloria Houston and pictures by Barbara Cooney, has the flavor of an old folktale. My six-year-old loves the fairy and folk tale section at the library, so this was perfect for her. Every family in this Appalachian town takes turns each year donating a tree from their property for the church Christmas tree. This year it is Ruthie's family's turn, but her father is away at war. It's up to Ruthie and her mother to find the perfect Christmas tree.
