Every year Farmer Tuttle loads his truck with Christmas trees fresh from his farm and drives down to the city to sell them. Then he picks out a special Christmas hat to bring home to Mrs. Tuttle. But one year, people stopped buying real Christmas trees. Fake ones were more convenient, they said. So Farmer Tuttle had to return home without a hat to give his wife. The Tuttles worried; if they couldn't sell their trees anymore, what would they do? Just when they're about to sell all their trees to a man from the sawmill, a mysterious letter arrives requesting Farmer Tuttle's finest tree . . .

Publisher's Weekly Review

When plastic trees become all the rage, things look bleak for Farmer Tuttle, who raises Christmas trees. He can't sell his harvest wares-or buy Mrs. Tuttle a special holiday hat. But a letter from an anonymous customer seeking "the finest tree in the forest" (and who clandestinely appears with his own team of tiny tree cutters and flying sleigh transport) changes all that. Kids will love seeing the surprise turn of play in the art, which features an evergreen forest so lush and crisp one would swear it emits a pine scent. Ages 4-8. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
