Wonderlit Review

The Story Tree by Tom Percival offers a charming entry point into fantasy for young readers. This chapter book introduces a world where magic is palpable and stories literally blossom, creating a sense of wonder and encouraging imagination. While specific plot details are sparse, the core concept of a Story Tree and the presence of fairies suggest a gentle, adventurous narrative. It's particularly suited for children aged 4-11 who are beginning to explore longer narratives and enjoy whimsical settings. Parents can use this book to spark conversations about creativity and the power of storytelling. Its accessible length makes it a good choice for reluctant readers or as a read-aloud to introduce chapter books.
