Brown, Margaret Wise

Goodnight to each of the objects in the great green room: goodnight chairs, goodnight comb, goodnight air.

A lonely little fir tree, standing by itself at the edge of the forest, has its life transformed when a father takes it home to serve as a living Christmas tree for his bedridden son.

As the day comes to a close, various animals and a small child wind down their activities and go to sleep.

Goodnight to each of the objects in the great green room: goodnight chairs, goodnight comb, goodnight air.

Each year the same Christmas tree is brought to a little lame boy, until one year he can trim the tree in the forest. Preschool - Grade 2.
