Win the Picture Book of the Month, Pick a Pine Tree

Pick a pine tree from the lot – slim and tall, or short and squat! Long straight limbs or branches bent... Mmm! Just smell that piney scent!

From Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth creator, Jarvis, and author Patricia Toht, comes a beautiful, irresistible Christmas gift book that all begins with … picking a pine tree! Brimming over with the excitement of being with family at the festive season, a gorgeously rhythmical, read-aloud narrative accompanied by warm, joyful art celebrates all the familiar rituals of decorating the tree – from digging out jam-packed boxes of trimmings, stringing tinsel, to, at last, turning on those twinkly fairy lights.


WIN!

We have five copies of Pick a Pine Tree with limited edition prints to give away! To enter, just email your name and address to competitions@walker.co.uk with ‘Pick a Pine Tree' in the subject line for your chance to win. 

Competition closes on 17th December 2017. Terms and conditions apply.

Pick up a copy of Pick a Pine Tree in your local bookshop and check out the fun animated trailer below.
