Illustrated by
Anne Hunter.
This book explores the ways a Christmas tree is useful all year round. Each double-page spread begins by asking, "Who would like a Christmas tree in...?" and for every month one animal offers its perspective. Painterly watercolor and ink illustrations depict the animals against an ever-present grove of fir trees. Information on Christmas tree farm ecology is appended.
