Christmas Trolls (Jan Brett, 1994)



Logline:

When Christmas-themed things begin disappearing from the house, Treva sets off to investigate.

London:

I like when Treva gives the trolls her horse and the trolls give Treva their horsey.

Ben:

As is typical of Jan Brett, we get to learn the true meaning - in this case, of Christmas - and the illustrations are the best part. The story lacks gravity, but it remains enjoyable.

What it would be like to be in this book:

"If I were Treva" says London, "I would teach the trolls the real meaning of Christmas. And I would give them five Christmas trees - or two, for their rooms." Ben would probably just hang around the forest until dark, barely noticing the trolls. Ben loves the forest.
