Oh Christmas Tree!
Magic in the air! This warm and festive story stars brilliant characters and is written in hilarious rhyming text. All along the street windows display decorated Christmas trees, except at number 34. There, a desperate looking bare tree is being chased by Belle, Bauble and the Tinsel Snake. Tree is explaining that in no way is he going to stand in the corner in a pot, with a star on his head. Oh no; he wants to spend his days, baking, riding a bike, skating, or sometimes watching TV for a bit. It takes much ingenuity for the decorations to work out a plan to trick the tree into becoming decorated. The ending should bring lots of smiles to readers, as the pictures tell us just how their plan is achieved. Bright throughout, with a full colour palette and details to absorb on second and subsequent readings. The cover depicts a very smiley tree, set in a hologram of sparkly stars, Belle, Bauble and Tinsel Snake whizzing around him. Eye catching, with a different slant on seasonal stories!
