About this ebook
The fir tree is in such a hurry to grow that it fails to enjoy the beauty around it. All it thinks about is how much it wants to become a tall fir tree and see the wide world and experience new things. It finds no joy in the moment but is always longing for the future. Finally, the fir tree realizes it has wasted its life by living for the future instead of for the present.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a good example of a fairy tale even though it has a sad ending you learn a lesson when reading it that you should be happy with what you have at the time because one day it will be gone. Don’t be to egger to grow up. Characterization: the fir tree is a dynamic character because he changes from what to be old tree and to be a Christmas tree to wishing he had spent more time enjoying his time as a young tree in the forest because know that it was gone and nobody appreciated him he missed being in the forest.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Fir Tree, illustrated by Nancy Ekholm Burkert.Originally published in 1844, as part of Hans Christian Andersen's New Fairy Tales, The Fir Tree - like The Little Mermaid and The Snow Queen - is one of the author's original creations. The story of a young tree who is unable to appreciate present blessings, because he is always looking forward to future glories, it displays that unmistakable melancholy found in so many of Andersen's creations, and concludes with the little fir's sad demise.Nancy Ekholm Burkert's gorgeous full-color brush and ink paintings, and black and white drawings in pencil, add to the emotional weight of this retelling, emphasizing the beauty of the forest, the magic of Christmas night, and the loneliness of the tree's final days. Visually appealing, this is one I would recommend to all Hans Christian Andersen readers...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I had never read this novella before, but of course I'd heard of the author! It was so, so sad, but had a great lesson in it. The cover is absolutely gorgeous and draws you in. It's an easy read and one I think children and adults will like. I would recommend this book. 4 out of 5 stars.
