Night Tree - Eve Bunting

On a cold Christmas Eve, a family drives out to Luke's Forest, where they greet their favorite tree like an old friend and decorate it with edible ornaments for the animals of the woods in this refreshing alternative to the tinsel and sugarplum commercialism of many Christmas offerings (Publishers Weekly). Full color. nBy moonlight in the quiet forest, a young boy and his family decorate their favorite tree with popcorn, apples, tangerines, and sunflower-seed balls as a gift for the animals of the woods. Sure to become a Christmas favorite, this beautifully illustrated story of a family's unusual tradition brings to life the true spirit of Christmas.--American Bookseller n
