After many of the neighbours contract scarlet fever and can't celebrate the holiday, Trisha's grandfather decides to deliver Christmas trees in secret. The family delights in decorating the evergreens, which Babushka dubs ""the trees of the dancing goats"" because each one sports a wooden goat carved by Grandpa. Later, as Trisha's family sits down to their Hanukkah dinner, the neighbours arrive with a special gift of their own. Patricia Polacco's The Trees of the Dancing Goats is a great story to share with children during the holiday season. | The Trees Of The Dancing Goats by Patricia Polacco, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters
