(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. This update of the familiar Christmas song features a girl whose parents give her a "little pine tree" on the first day of Christmas, with ornaments for it each day thereafter. The ornaments increase not only in number but in size, as does the tree itself, so that her hallway becomes a wonderland in time for Santa's visit. Soft, dark hues fill the comic illustrations of this text whose meter only occasionally falters.
