Though the story is like many other Christmas stories, it is still enjoyable to read. the story is about an immigrant family who has to sell family keepsakes after a fire destroys their home and business. Because of the father's comapassion, a Christmas morning miracle restores their hope. The illustrations are expressive but not very detailed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

With nowhere else to go, the family moves into an abandoned shack filled with cobwebs. In order to start over, the shoemaker must make a decision to sell the ornaments. On Christmas Even when the family cuts down a fir tree, the children are saddened to learn about the fate of the ornaments. That night the spiders come out and work their magic transforming the tree into a Christmas miracle. The family wakes up to discover the true meaning of Christmas.
The Bottom Line: Each retelling of the legend of the Christmas spider is unique in its own way. Bodkin's story is charming with a focus on family and love. Together this gentle story and the beautiful illustrations reveal the true meaning of Christmas. Enthusiastically recommended holiday reading for kids ages 3 - 7.
