The Christmas Tree Ship

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Ellison. A grandfather tells his grandchildren about a ship that carried Christmas trees across Lake Michigan until it sank in a storm. The captain's wife, the children learn, continues the tradition of bringing trees by boat to Chicago. The sentimental story is illustrated with soft, old-fashioned paintings for strong adult appeal; the whole has less attraction for child readers.
