From the Golden Books archives comes a classic Christmas tale by a master storyteller and one of the great Golden Books illustrators.
A forest is hushed for the animals' Christmas. The elephant brings a fir tree from far away, and the animals gather silently. . . . The kangaroos decorate the tree with pinecones, and the giraffe places a star at the top.
“Now, as it happened before, the lion lay down with the lamb. . . .”
This beautifully told story by noted author Jan Wahl is brought to life with richly textured paintings by Caldecott Medalist Leonard Weisgard, celebrating the majesty and wonder of Christmas. It was originally published in 1988.

      Leonard Weisgard's pictures of a bipedal animal cast continue to light up The Golden Christmas Tree by Jan Wahl, a 1988 picture book reissued as a Big Little Golden Book.

      Animals gather to decorate a fir tree and celebrate Christmas together. Wahl's quiet, reverent text is extended by Weisgard's art in which the lines of the animals' fur connect them visually with the fir tree's needles, unifying the pages. This new edition, though essentially unchanged, has a slightly different format than the original.

      The animals--elephant, cardinal, llamas, goats, wolf, deer, lion, lamb, kangaroos, and more--gather in a forest to decorate a Christmas tree and then dance by the light of its star. This quiet Christmas mood piece lacks much of a story or any character development. Weisgard's beautifully detailed illustrations capture the tone and will appeal to nostalgic adults.
