Another classic in our house. A great rhyming tale with darling illustrations. Mr. Willowby gets a grand Christmas tree, but it's just a bit too big. No worries, his butler will just chop the top off; and pass it to the upstairs maid, who finds that it's a bit too big for her room, so she does the same. The top of the tree gets passed off and cut again from humans to animals alike until it ends up coming full circle in a sense. It's so fun and has such a classic feel to it. Adore this one!
