Pip the Gnome and the Christmas Tree Pip the gnome gets help decorating the Christmas tree from his friends—robin, rabbit and mouse. Discover the beautiful, natural things they bring: a red apple, soft woolen thread, golden straw and a bright, shiny rosehip. Colorful illustrations and simple words introduce very young children to the joy of preparing for Christmas. Soft, wintery colors illuminate the day from morning to dusk, ending with the candle-lit tree.
