The Last Christmas Tree

Written by Stephen Krensky, Illustrated by Pascal Campion

It’s Christmas time and the parking lot is packed full of Christmas trees. One little tree, not very tall and a bit hunched over is smashed between some bushier companions. But no tree is more filled with the spirit of the season. One by one the other trees are chosen and on Christmas Eve this scrawny little tree stands all alone. Finally someone special recognizes the potential of the little tree and takes it home. This is a Christmas book that exudes the excitement of the season. The illustrations are very colorful, bright and beautiful. It is a book sure to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
