Wonderful world of nature and Christmas

Red and Lulu is a marvelous picture book about the journey of two cardinals whose pine tree is selected to grace Rockefeller Center. The artwork is magical, with pictures of the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Rockefeller Center skating rink. The story is easy for young children to grasp and is cyclical in nature. I loved it as much as the first graders who enjoyed hearing this tale.
