A delightful midi-edition of the bestselling picture book The Christmas Eve Tree, including a stunning pop-up – coming just in time for Christmas!
A magical midi-edition of Delia Huddy and Emily Sutton’s poignant, exquisitely illustrated Christmas story, with a beautiful pop-up cityscape. When the ugly little fir tree is taken to the city, no one wants to buy him; they prefer the big tall trees. But a homeless boy asks the shopkeeper if he can take the tree, and down by the river in a cardboard box, decorated with a few candles, the tree finds itself at the centre of a magical Christmas Eve it will never forget. With a stunning pop-up of a snowy city skyline, this is a Christmas tale with a classic feel but a modern theme at its heart.
“This absolutely beautiful book will really instil the true Christmas spirit in all who read it. […]The story is one of hope and new beginnings, and Emily Sutton’s illustrations, full of details that children will love, have a wonderful almost folk art feel. Buy it and bring home the real magic of Christmas!” * Andrea Reece, LoveReading *
“Your child will especially love the surprise pop-up scene in the middle of this heartwarming book which has a classic feel while being a thoroughly modern story.” * Junior magazine *
“This is a truly lovely story with gorgeous illustrations that are sure to add a touch of true Christmas spirit.” * Madeformums.co.uk *
