Pick a Pine Tree: The bestselling Christmas gift book. 3+ years

Bought this as a gift, such. Special book.

I bought this for my 22 month old so we could talk about decorating the Xmas tree before we did it and build up excitement and understanding. It is already her book of the moment and she asks for it every night. The illustrations are beautiful, so nostalgic, festive and with plenty of things to point out and talk about. The story is a rhyming one about choosing a tree from the lot, bringing it home and decorating it which seems simple but it's beautifully done. My little one's face lights up at the final double page image of the final tree transformation. At which point she usually wants to start the book again. Worth every penny. I will look out for more from this author/illustrator combo as it comes together so magically In this book.

My son (4yrs) loves this book and chooses it most nights. The pictures are great and it makes choosing and decorating the Christmas tree even more special for them.

The artwork is truly fantastic, covering every inch of each page with glorious cosy festive colours, and images that really convey the magical sense of wonder that the Christmas season brings. From a snowy outdoor night time scene to basking in the light of the Christmas tree, you really feel you are a part of the story, and the large double-page picture at the end is magnificent.The story itself is simple, but engaging, and told in poem form. The book will make a lovely Christmas gift for my young relative.Only one minor quibble: although the spellings have been adjusted for the European market, it is still obvious the story was written for an American audience. Some examples: using 'Christmas tree lot' instead of nursery/farm/shop, 'sled' instead of sledge, 'lay' instead of lie, 'trimmings' instead of decorations, rhyming 'dolls' with 'balls', calling lametta 'tinsel' and calling tinsel 'garland'. Children won't care, but reading as an adult it can jar a little.

Great story, perfect for toddler story time pre Xmas

An absolutely lovely book

A nice Christmas read, and a bargain on offer. Beautifully illustrated book.

I always like to get Xmas books and this one is a lovely little story

Really enjoyed the story. Also sent a copy to my niece and nephew. However, they have never had a real tree so not sure it will have the same meaning to them.

Me encanta todo lo que escribe esta autora y las ilustraciones de Jarvis son como siempre maravillosas.Un libro divertido en rima para leer a tus niños y niñas.

Çok hoş bir kitap baskısıyla ve resimleriyle.

My 3 year old daughter loved this book.

Très jolie histoire qui reflète notre tradition familiale du sapin de Noël !
