Pick a Pine Tree: The bestselling Christmas gift book in midi-edition with pop-up surprise

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.

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

An absolutely lovely 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.

Great story, perfect for toddler story time pre Xmas

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.

Such a lovely story about picking out your real tree

this book delights across many ages - I found it on a reception class reading list and our 4 year old loved it. It has a magical ring to it so I have a feeling we'll be reading it for many years to come. Our 2 year old also enjoyed it, great words;

I got this for my nephew for Christmas! It is such a cute story and the illustrations are so wonderful Inside. Great book to add to the family library.

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.

My 3 year old daughter loved this book.

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