Originally published in 1980 as The Family Christmas Tree Book, and reprinted this year (2019) as Tomie dePaola's Christmas Tree Book, this little picture-book makes an engaging introduction to the history of decorating Christmas trees for the holiday. Having recently read The Queen and the First Christmas Tree: Queen Charlotte's Gift to England, which discusses how its eponymous royal first introduced Christmas trees to England in 1800, I appreciated the fact that dePaola focused on developments in America in his book, in addition to those in Europe. Although popularized in America in the 19th century through the example of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the custom of decorating a tree for Christmas was actually first observed here in 1747, by German immigrants of the Moravian faith who settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Engaging and informative, this little book would make an excellent first introduction to the history of the Christmas tree for picture-book audiences. Recommended to readers seeking such a book, as well as to Tomie dePaola fans. ( )
