The stage is set for a ghostly encounter when Kaye's family runs off the road in a blizzard on Christmas Eve 2008, at the sight of a perfect pine tree chosen by young Lillian in 1938.
After Farmer Tuttle is unable to give his wife a Christmas hat because he can not sell his Christmas trees, he receives a mysterious letter requesting his very finest tree.
The Christmas tree that Dad brings home is a little skimpy, but each family member has an idea for what will make it better, and Little Critter adds the crowning touch.
This book explains the symbolism behind our use of Christmas trees today and the many famous trees readers may know, including the huge tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
