The Family Christmas Tree Book

While two children help their family cut down and trim a Christmas tree, they hear a lot of fascinating things about it:

* how it became part of Christmas in America

* how it started to be decorated

* what the first tree stands looked like

* why lights replaced candles

* where and how the first ornaments were made

They even learn that President Teddy Roosevelt's son hid a Christmas tree in his closet.

Tomie dePaola artfully blends facts and imagination in this companion volume to The Cloud Book, The Popcorn Book, The Quicksand Book, and The Kid's Cat Book.

There are directions for a make-it-yourself angel ornament at the end.
