About the Book
First published in 1963, this charming tale about a Christmas tree that's just a little too tall for its parlor is now available for the first time in a full-color hardcover edition, meticulously repainted by author-illustrator Barry.Book Synopsis
Give the gift of holiday spirit with this classic picture book that celebrates how one Christmas tree brings joy to a whole forest of critters!Christmas is here and Mr. Willowby's tree has arrived. There's just one big problem: The tree is too tall for his parlor! He cuts off the top so it will fit, and soon the top of that tree is passed along again and again to bring holiday cheer to all the animals in the forest. Kids will love watching the tree move from home to home, and families will appreciate the subtle message of conservation and recycling, as the tree top spreads joy to all. This heartwarming story, in print since 1963, is the perfect way to start the yuletide season, and a warm addition to any family's festive holiday traditions.

This is my all time favorite Christmas book! I love the rhyming story and the detailed pictures. My mom would read this to me when I was young...brings back so many memories. Mr Williby has a tree that is too tall for the for the house so they snip off the top and the story begins. What a fun adventure!
