Reviews
'The tale of the little pine tree who wanted to be anything other than what he was is beautifully told with clever illustrations in a traditional style. Each page depicts the same subject in the same place (a tree can hardly move around!) but Koopmans has managed to create a new feeling and energy by changing the surroundings on each page, making subtle use of colour and detail … it is a lovely book to read aloud with young children … This is a refreshing Christmas book with a difference, definitely one for the stocking!'
