My Thoughts:
Narrated by Oakheart, the oldest tree in the forest, this wonderful, whimsical picture book shares fun stories that tell of the life cycle of trees around the world in both a fun and educational way.
Full of stories and information that share how trees are planted, how they grow, how they eat, what animals and insects dwell in them, this fascinating book will keep your little ones busy listening and learning.
The stories are simple yet fascinating, with some leaning towards popular folklore and mythology. There's lots of extra information to go along with the stories. One tells of seeds and mentions that they come in different forms--from nuts, some from cones, and others from fruit--and shares some of those fruits and how you can find and harvest the seeds in the margins.
Oakheart also tells us about different kinds of forests, where they are, and what kind of critters live in them. He tells us all about tree's bark and how different animals and insects can live inside of trees, and so much more! You're sure to learn something new from this fun picture book!
