REVIEW
From the dust-jacket front flap (image below refers): 🌲 ‘Deep in a snowy forest stands a little pine tree with a special destiny: when it grows up, it’s going to be a famous Christmas tree! Julia Donaldson’s heartfelt rhyme follows the tree’s journey from the frozen woods to the sparkling city square...’🎄 Based on a true story, the talented JULIA DONALDSON originally wrote ‘The Christmas Pine’ to celebrate the 2020 Christmas tree, the poem performed by schoolchildren and displayed in Trafalgar Square. Accompanying the rhyme is, to my eye, the most amazing atmospheric illustrations from Norwegian illustrator, VICTORIA SANDØY, ‘who lives in Oslo, not far from the forest where the Christmas pines grow’. The current stock images above give an indication of the content to see if it is the style for you and yours...and I am sure the ‘LOOK INSIDE’ facility will be along in the near future. ooOoo One for the forever shelf, IMO, it is a beautifully produced book with matching dust-jacket, the Christmas tree tips & baubles + the titling in a shiny gold colouring that follows through to the spine, all nonchalantly shimmering in the change of light. The quality hardback measures roughly 22.5 cm x 27.75 cm, and opens to 32 matte finish pages, of which the poem runs across 30, in double-page spread format, those gorgeous illustrations offering lots to talk about on every turn. The font is a good size so as not to dominate the pictures. The very last page details the reasons behind the publication (image below refers).
