Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree

Summary: A classic that simply must be in your collection!
Review: Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree is one of those books that simply must be in your home collection -- borrowing it from the library just isn't good enough. The book tells a cute story that starts with rich old Mr. Willowby having his huge Christmas tree delivered to his house only to find that it's a bit too tall. The solution: chop off the top of course! The top finds a new home only there it is too tall once again so off goes more top and so on and so on. The illustrations are very well done and the words flow so well that my 5 year old can nearly recite the entire story. A great companion to 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. I've given this book as a gift several times and always found it to be a hit.

Summary: Delightful, rhyming Christmas story
Review: The top portion of a Christmas tree is lopped off and discarded, only to be found by another character in the book and used in their home. As this process continues the book can be used not only as a delightful Christmas story, but as a math lesson as well. Children love the rhyme and cadence of the story.

Summary: A wonderful piece of childhood that still makes me smile!
Review: This book originally was a Book of the Month when my cousin was a child. The type of book you used to buy through your school. My aunt used to read it to me when we'd see each other at Christmas, when I was old enough I used to read it to her. I have given this book to every child I know. It is just a sweet and funny story. A must have in any child's library, no matter how old you are!

Summary: What a Wonderful Book
Review: Well, I rememeber this book from when I was a kid. It is fitting that those families who found the top of Mr. Willoby's tree thought of it as a gift, not something that had to be bought. I made sure I had a copy of this book for my daughter to grow up with. I love Mr. Willoby's Christmas Tree
