The art and prose of Guido van Genechten returns in this classic Christmas story of one bunny's pursuit for a Christmas tree.
It's almost Christmas, but Ricky's family doesn't have a tree yet because his parents have been so busy. Dad begrudingly takes Ricky on his tree quest, as long as they make it quick. While Ricky takes in all the winter beauty and fun around him, his father pushes him to fine the tree and get back home. When the Christmas tree falls off the sled, Ricky's enthusiasm for winter play becomes infectious, and soon Dad and Mom are caught up in the joys of the season.
This is a beautiful story made even lovelier by van Genechten's adorable artwork. I love his books because they capture the heart of a child so well. As I was reading , I wondered if this is how my kids see me--constantly working, not appreciating the little things that make life worth living.
Ricky's Christmas Tree is probably going to end up being my favorite van Genechten book. He's truly done a wonderful job with this one. It would make the perfect gift any time of the year.
