Pip the gnome gets help decorating a Christmas tree from his friends robin, rabbit and mouse. Discover the beautiful, natural things they bring: a red apple, soft woollen thread, golden straw and a bright, shiny rose hip.

Colorful illustrations and simple words introduce very young children to the joy of preparing for Christmas. Soft, wintry colors illuminate the day from morning to dusk, ending with the candle-lit tree.

Perfect for bedtime during the holiday season, the story ends as we say 'Happy Christmas Pip'.
