Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6–Readers with patience, and perhaps a penchant for detail, may appreciate this latest offering from the author and illustrator of Regarding the Fountain (Avon, 1998) and Regarding the Sink (Harcourt, 2004). While the principal is simply looking for someone to trim some trees at Geyser Creek Middle School, a misunderstanding and clever rhetorical spin-offs take readers on a winding journey that includes every leafy pun imaginable. Add an Italian chef and a marriage proposal, and you have a one-of-a-kind plot waiting for that unique reader willing to take the time to unravel this clever book. Each page is painstakingly laid out in scrapbook form as the story unfolds with letters, newspaper columns, even packing envelopes. Some children may find the variety of wacky fonts and page styles difficult to navigate, and the quaint cover depicting a large party taking place under a tree does nothing to add to the book's appeal.–Cheryl Ashton, Amherst Public Library, OH

From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. Told through letters, newspaper articles, illustrations, and class projects, and filled with humor and whimsical characters, Klise's follow-up to Regarding the^BFountain (1998) and^B Regarding the Sink (2004) is both fun and informative.^B Geyser Creek Middle School's principal wants to trim or cut down the school's trees, but some students want to save them, especially after learning about their benefits and their importance to area history. In the meantime, romance blooms in unexpected places and a rivalry develops between local restaurateurs, dividing loyalties and inspiring contention between men and women, girls and boys. Fortunately, unexpected events and revelations heal rifts and save both friendships and the trees. Witty wordplay abounds--from characters' names (Justin Case) to tree puns ("Leaf the trees alone")--and Klise incorporates interesting facts about trees and researching genealogy and history. Kids will enjoy the peppy, multiformat read and like the diverse characters. Shelle Rosenfeld
