Review: That tree sure can whine

Little Cedar has a limited view of his world. The sun doesn't bake his leaves. The rain doesn't drizzle down to drip a musical beat off his leaves. The wind doesn't whistle through his branches. And he has a thing or two to say about it. Grumpy and whiny, he vents his frustrations to his friend who has to be the most patient tree ever.My guess is that Little Cedar is about 4 years old. Oh boy. The complaints. I enjoyed reading this book so much because give me a grumpy character and I'm Oscar worthy. My own 4 year old lit up with the moping (kindred spirits). I loved the lesson; Little Cedar wasn't being kept from great things, he was being loved and taken care of so he can grow strong and do the same for others. And not to forget the illustrations, they were as sweet as the message. The Grumpy Little Cedar is part of our reading library in my house.
