Goodnight Christmas Tree - what a darling little book, and my first encounter with the author – Sharlene Alexander, whose charming style is so engaging. I’m delighted to find her and learn that she has more books, and can’t wait to share my find with my grand-babies!This little book is beautifully illustrated with vivid colors that capture the imagination. It is written from a child’s perspective, as the child says goodnight to all the sights, sounds and smells of Christmas - that is so loved and so much a part of a wonderful experience, that the child perceives them as ‘dear friends’ – and of course we say goodnight to our friends!Sweet moments – like those captured here - are ones that we carry with us into adulthood, moments we pass onto our own children. Goodnight Christmas Tree is the embodiment of tenderness, and so beautifully embraces the innocence of childhood.The games and tongue twisters are a real hit, too.This little book will take you back to simpler times.  You’ll love it – and so will the kids! Guaranteed!!
