Illustrated by
Jarvis.
"Pick a pine tree / from the lot-- / slim and tall / or short and squat." So begins this picture-book enumeration of the jolly steps involved in turning a tree into a Christmas tree. Toht's rhyming text is greatly illuminated by Jarvis's mixed-media illustrations, which imbue each step in the process with holiday warmth and capably capture that Christmas-decorations glow.
