Let's Get a Christmas Tree!

Christmas is coming! This sweet Little Golden Book is about a young girl choosing a Christmas tree with her family.

Join an excited little girl as she heads to a Christmas tree farm with her parents and dog. Some trees are crooked. Some are too big. Will the family find a tree that's just right for them? Other holiday traditions, such as admiring houses decorated with loads of Christmas lights, and drinking hot cocoa while hanging ornaments on the tree, are also mentioned in this Little Golden Book. It's perfect for young boys and girls who are getting ready to celebrate Christmas with their own family!

(She still may have a slight crush on Michael J. Fox, even though she is happily married.) Lori lives with her family on the North Shore of Massachusetts.
