A fabulously festive picture book packed with adorable Christmas decoration characters in a fast-paced race to the top of the tree. Who will be the winner?

It's nearly Christmas, and that can only mean one thing... it's time to decorate the tree!

Star and her Christmas decoration friends are so excited. They can wait to get out of their box and up on to the branches! But this year, everyone wants to be the star of the show at the very top of the tree. Can these friends learn to share the limelight before they all come crashing down?

A fun and festive picture book that's perfect for sharing in the run-up to Christmas.
