Synopsis
Describes the basics of how different types of trees grow.
Children's Literature
One of six in the "Digging in the Dirt" series, this interesting book celebrates trees of the U.S. from their variety to their importance in our lives. The overall tone is one of environmentalism as the author explains how trees grow, and encourages the reader to be a caretaker and planter of trees. Beautiful full-page photos of various trees, leaves, and children planting trees enhance the interesting, text. A glossary, index and resources for further study are provided. A perfect accompaniment to a classroom study of trees. 2000, Rosen Publishing Group, Ages 7 to 9, $18.60. Reviewer: Meredith Kiger
