5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure of Tree Info for the kids, May 7, 2000
Wow! What a treasure trove of fascinating facts for kids! The book is beautifully and intelligently illustrated.

Kids learn how very important trees are to the environment, how to examine a tree's bark, how to make bark rubbings, how the bark reveals the age and health of a tree, how it pumps water into the atmosphere, how photosynthesis occurs and why it is important to each of us.

It lists a number of intriguing experiments for kids to do at home with a minimum of supplies and fuss. Parents will find winning ideas for science experiments at school, and kids will be inspired to go on nature walks in their neighborhood to examine and learn from their own and the neighbors trees.

Children, with just a bit of help from mom or dad will learn how to measure the height of a tree (with an ordinary wooden stick and the formula in the book). The section on roots explains where the roots are, and shows pictures of rainforest tree roots. It shows how trees in desert areas store water.

An inquiring child learns how to estimate a tree's age from its growth rings. As it takes the child through the growth process from bud to leaf, it teaches how to make a leaf pressings and starts his or her curiosity on how to identify a tree from its leaf.

I'm a grandmother of five in the 9 to 12 age range and each will be given this amazing book. It is so fact-filled most adults will learn alot from it, yet simple to read and understand for the kids.

I'll be watching for more Peter Mellett books in the future!
