The other trees couldn't be bothered with him either. Rupert was lonely.Rupert, the Sturdy Oak Tree tells the story of the change of heart Rupert must undergo to finally become part of the forest's family of trees and teaches its young listeners the value of being friendly and of seeing the worth in all others.J.
