Christmas Trolls

by Jan Brett


 Trolls, in an attempt to have the Christmas they see at Treva's house, start stealing Christmas decorations.  It doesn't bring them happiness because the trolls are quarelsome and have no idea what the holidays are about.  When Treva finds them, she sets them straight and together everyone enjoys a happy Christmas

Audience:
I'd go 1st grade on up with this one

What I Love:
The illustrations are breathtaking and the story is heartwarming.  Jan Brett's famous borders are great in this, so pay attention to them.

Cautions:
This is slower than you'd expect from a children's book
