The Golden Christmas Tree by Jan Wahl

Wahl, Jan. The Golden Christmas Tree, illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. Golden Books, 2003 (1988). $8.99. PICTURE BOOK. The animals celebrate Christmas together by decorating a tree. There is no “growling, howling, meowling” between the different animals. Kangaroos pick pine cones, tiger’s string berries, monkeys decorate, and of course, a giraffe places the star on top of the tree. Birds drop nuts and fruit for everyone to eat and everyone dances all night long. The illustrations are warm and colorful making this a delightful holiday read. Pre-K, EL – ADVISABLE.
