From the dust jacket:
"Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree
Came by special delivery.
Full and fresh
and glistening green,
—the biggest tree
he'd ever seen."
The was the trouble. Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree was so big and tall that it couldn't stand up straight in Mr. Willowby's parlor. As he said: "Something must go"...and indeed something did go—and wouldn't Mr. Willowby be surprised if he were to know all about it.

Told in cheerful, jouncing lines and gay pictures, this is a story that grows more amusing, and appealing with each page.
