ABOUT THE BOOK
Pip the gnome gets help decorating the Christmas tree from his friends robin, rabbit and mouse. Discover the beautiful, natural things they bring: a red apple, soft woollen thread, golden straw and a bright, shiney rosehip. Colourful illustrations and simple words introduce very young children to the joy of preparing for Christmas. Soft, wintery colours illuminate the day from morning to dusk, ending with the candle-lit tree. Perfect for bedtime during Advent, the story ends as we say 'Happy Christmas Pip'.
REVIEW
This short board book provides a sweet way to introduce the concept of tree decorating to little ones. Pip and each of his friends contribute something from his/her home to add to the tree. This is a sweet story of friendship and sharing as each friend adds to the tree. The soft pastels create a gentleness that makes it work well for the youngest listeners. With slightly older listeners it might be fun to discuss what he/she would like to add to the tree.

I’m seeking a Santa
And everyone knows…
Your eyes must be bright
With red cheeks and red nose
Should have a fur hat
Wear a warm, woolen suit
Bring a big bag
For all of the loot

Naturally this includes things such as red cheeks and nosy, fur hat, cozy suit, a love for snow and the North Pole, and an ability to tell naughty from nice. The bright, colorful illustrations are bound to attract the gaze of a young listener with lots of cute elves and other characters to be talked about. This book makes for a cute introduction to the idea of Santa Claus, who he is and what he does.
