Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree Tekijä: Robert Barry
My family has read this one for over a decade of Christmases now. It has a fun sense of rhyme and a positive message about how when you are generous, it inspires others to do the same.
Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree came by special delivery. Full and fresh and glistening green--the biggest tree he had ever seen. He dashed downstairs to open the door--This was the moment he'd waited for.
I loved, loved, loved Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree. It celebrates giving in a fun and playful way. Mr. Willowby starts off a long chain of giving when he chops off the top of his too-tall Christmas tree. A tree that is splendid in every other way. He gives the tree-top to the upstairs maid. She's delighted. Very delighted. How thoughtful! How cheery! But the tree is too-tall for her small room. The top must go! Chances are you can predict at this point how the story will go. But that doesn't mean it is in any way less delightful. This little tree-top gets passed down and re-trimmed again and again and again and again and again. And it's just WONDERFUL to see how much happiness and cheer it brings to others.
I loved the premise. I loved the writing. The rhyming was delightful. It worked very well for me! I think this one would make a great read-aloud. I also loved how uplifting it is. (After reading Baboushka and the Three Kings, I needed a cheery story!)
Why didn't someone tell me about this wonderful and charming picture book?! Why?! Well, I am glad to have discovered it now!

I love this book from the charming endpapers to the full circle with the very tip of the tree coming back to the Willowby’s home. Adorable.
A cute, funny Christmas story that has become a family favorite. We read it several times a year during December.
