There's really not much doubt, as to the answer to that question - just look at the cover illustration here! - but The Good Little Christmas Tree is an engaging tale, all the same. Text heavy, for a picture-book - I'd say this was more of an illustrated short story - it includes numerous fantasy elements, from the tree's journey itself, to the gnomes and goblins, wolf-guarded toadstools, and dancing angels, that he encounters. Williams seems to have often made sentient animals and objects her protagonists - see Adventures of the Little Wooden Horse and Gobbolino the Witch's Cat - and here she continues the trend, with a sentient tree. Although I wouldn't say that it was destined to become a personal holiday favorite, I did enjoy the story, and appreciated Gillian Tyler's illustrations, which reminded me a bit of Pauline Baynes' work. Recommended to all young readers who wonder about the Christmas magic going on, while they're asleep... ( )
