Pick a Pine Tree (Pick A Celebration)

Adorable Christmas book for our daughters. We loved reading this after decorating our Christmas tree. The illustrations were beautiful and the storyline was so cute! We’ll definitely be reading this every year!

"Pick A Pine Tree" by Patrica Toht and illustrated by Jarvis is a small Children's Lilting Rhythmic Poetic Christmas book which measures 7 1/2 inches by 8 3/4 inches and has 32 pages. Each page is printed on heavy paper almost like card stock which is a real plus because children will not tear the pages as quickly. Each page is a full page full color illustration with only one line of poetry text on each page. The artist's illustrations center in on the most important part in the line of poetry on each page. The poem is all about finding a Christmas tree and all the preparations needed to make the tree a truly great finished decorated tree. I like that the author encourages readers to call their friends and relatives to help decorate their Christmas tree and have a tree decorating party. After reading 30 pages of simple rhyming poetic words, the reader is treated to an extra special surprise at the end of the book - a beautiful two page pop up of a multi tiered fully decorated Christmas Tree. Because the story is written in simple lilting rhythmic style, this book should be read out loud. The book would make an excellent read aloud in lower elementary classrooms and also for all your young children. It would be neat to read this story out loud as you gather with your family and friends to decorate your Christmas tree.

Beautiful illustrations! Can't wait to read with my kiddos.

Beautiful and fun holiday book that my daughter continues to come back to and have us read!
