Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree
Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree | Robert Barry
20 posts | 18 read | 16 to read
A classic picture book celebrating all the joy a Christmas tree can bring! Christmas is here and Mr. Willowby's tree has arrived! There's just one big problem . . . the tree is too tall to fit in his parlor. He cuts off the top so it will fit, but little does he know that the top of that tree will travel clear across the countryside, bringing holiday cheer to the homes of bears, rabbits, mice, and more! This heartwarming story is the perfect way to start your yuletide season, and the perfect addition to your familys festive holiday traditions.

Where has this sweet circle story been hiding all my life? It was published in 1963. 🎄

Another great gift for our wee boy. This is a favorite in out friend's family, but we had never read it. Fun with each animal getting their own perfectly-sized tree (plus they reuse instead of throwing things out). #kidsbook #Christmasstory #greatgift

Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree came by special delivery. Tall and fresh and glistening green, the biggest tree you've ever seen. Thus begins my forever favorite Christmas book. The top has to be cut off for it to fit, and it's thrown outside. A progression of animals find the discards until it makes its way down to a mouse family. Lovely, lilting rhymes and wonderful illustrations, this is always my go to #Christmassyreads #seasonsreadings2016

RealLifeReading This looks adorable! Thanks for posting it! 8y
MeganAnn This is one of my son's favorite Christmas books. We read it several times each year! 🎄📚❤️ 8y

I love Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree and have bought copies for all the kiddos in my life.

CherylDeFranceschi My all-time favorite! 8y
BookBabe Cute! Is this good for a 6-year-old? 8y
Soubhiville Looks delightful! 8y
Well-ReadNeck @BookBabe Yes! Here's the gist: Mr. W has a very tall tree and cuts off the top so that it fits in his home, a bear finds the top and does the same, and so on until lots of creatures have a Christmas tree in their homes. ❤️ (edited) 8y
tammysue What a fun silly book! Perfect gift for my littles☺️ 8y

We liked the rhymes of this book tonight. The illustrations are sweet. The story talks of waste, and showing that every little part of a tree can be helpful. We like this book very much.
