The Letter Tree

Product Information

Learning letters can be confusing for many preschoolers, the squiggly lines don’t have much meaning for young children. Think of all the other things in their little worlds that are more exciting than letters – technology, television, toys, nature. You’ll need to motivate young children first, before they can start learning letters of the alphabet. Netleaf trees have a variety of useful purposes other than being used as a source of good quality wood. Young Laura Bradshaw, heir to Bradshaw Shoes, writes a poem and stuffs it in a tree for later retrieval. Young Isaac Campbell, heir to the competition - Campbell shoes, finds the poem, and writes a letter in response, and leaves it in place of the poem.

This is a story of a secret friendship turned into forbidden love. I loved the 1920s New York setting and all the descriptions of the decade including fringe dresses, prohibition and the Brooklyn Zoo. This is a slower paced story but it flowed effortlessly.

You’ve Got Mail meets Romeo and Juliet in the decadence of the 1920s. I haven’t read many books in this time period, and I liked the details that were woven in. The author balances the romance and the deeper storyline in the perfect way to keep me invested in the story. I truly enjoyed this story and how special books and writing were to each of the main characters.
