From a party in Brooklyn, to a run-in with rats, to a revelatory visit to Rockefeller Center, Bruce the Spruce takes an unforgettable journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas trees!

This is a book I read more than once before passing it along to other family members with young children.
My own children grew up with Bruce the Spruce, not in our home but in a local department store.
They were always amazed when he knew their names. They would shyly whisper to him what they wanted for Christmas, knowing he would tell Santa.

So Bruce is a dear, family friend. That, and the adorable, bright, engaging images called to me.
I had to pick up this book.
Imagine my dismay when I learned that Bruce was going to be replaced!
However, what this means is that Bruce is off on an adventure and is able to spread joy to others.

His journey is not without danger and mishap. Oh dear!
Perhaps a bit battered, he finds a new home where he is welcomed and beautified once more.

Wonderful lessons are found as you turn the pages and there is a happy ending.
