Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree is a children's picture book by Robert Barry, first published in 1963.The story, told in rhyme, begins with the wealthy Mr. Willowby having a Christmas tree delivered to his mansion, only to discover it's too tall for the parlor. So he instructs his butler to cut off the top, which is then given to the maid, who puts it on a table in her room — and finds that it's just a little too tall. As the story progesses, pieces of the top keep getting cut off and enjoyed by different people and animals.It was adapted into a 1995 CBS television Christmas Special by the Jim Henson Company, starring Robert Downey Jr., Stockard Channing, Leslie Nielsen, and Kermit the Frog. |

One Man's Trash Is Another's Treasure: Whenever someone cuts off part of the Christmas tree because it's too big, someone else takes that part home. |

Ominous Owl: The mice are terrified of owls. Fortunately for them, the owls are too busy celebrating their own holiday to notice the mice in their tree. |
