Busy Tree (Hardcover)

Product Description

Spectacular illustrations rendered in oil paint, and a rhyming text that describes a tree's activities from its roots to its branches, introduce young readers to the amazing activities that go on in a tree. Acorns nibbled by chipmunks, ants scurrying across a trunk, a spider spinning a web, leaves "breathing out air for all to breathe in"--everything adds up to a "busy tree" for all to "come and see."

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Book from Jennifer Ward, August 31, 2009

By	MBear217 "ElBurk" (Upper Midwest) - See all my reviews

We've been a fan of Jennifer Ward since, "There Was A Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea". This book is exactly what we expected. The illustrations are simple yet incredibly effective and beautiful. The rhythm is terrific and the idea brings to light the many things going on in our trees. Our three-year-old loves reading it and then walking outside to look at our trees to see what she can find. It helps bring animation to trees and can be used as a great introduction to the environment. An excellent teaching tool hidden in a fun book.
