Our Thoughts
 

The Lemon Dot Tree is a cute story for kids about loving yourself, others, and the environment.  It’s well written with nice rhyming; it tells the story of what happens when Stingy comes to town and takes, but does not give back.  My only concern with it is the illustrations are very quiet; my son likes colorful books best.  While he may grow to enjoy the story, the illustrations wouldn’t jump off the shelf at him. But, he’s only 4! I enjoyed it the story; give it a read!
