Unique gift illustrated classic poem by e.e. cummings tells the story of a christmas tree coming from its home in the snow into a family's home at christmas time.

A little tree far away in the forest makes Christmas very special for a small boy and his family.

This simple, endearing e.e. cummings poem for Christmas has been charmingly illustrated by Mary Claire Smith in a style reminiscent of The Snowman. Each page is full colour and there are also glints of gold foil stars throughout the text.

Orginally a large format Element childrens title, we have shrunk the book down to a gift size format. The new size works very well and the result is a superb impulse purchase for Christmas time.

Review

Mary Clare Smith's illustration of one of e e cummings' best-loved poems will bring the magic and spirit of Christmas into every home in which it is read. Core colours of snow white, pine green and regal purple give the illustrations unity as they develop into more colourful celebrations once the Little Tree is taken out of the forest, decorated and put on show for everyone to see.

The text, sensitive to young people's fears of change and attention, gives the trees feelings every child will be able to identify with:

see
i will comfort you
because you smell so sweetly
i will kiss your cool bark
and hug you safe and tight
just as your mother would,
only don't be afraid

while gold foil stars add that little extra festive sparkle. Clear, large type makes this book easy for young readers to enjoy, and the colourful pictures will amuse little ones while parents read aloud. Joyful, bright and inspiring, Little Tree is a lovely addition to any Christmas stocking. (Ages 4 and up.) --Lucie Naylor
