I LOVE how jam-packed with information this book is - yet it's easy to read with beautiful illustratrations - for adults as well as young readers.I bought this book for myself because I really enjoyed another book that described how trees communicate, feel and live socially with the entire forest...but was quite high level and required strong concentration.I really enjoy the thoroughness and ease of reading as well as the illustrations. So did my 5 & 7-year old grandsons who ended up taking it home! So I ordered another book for myself, my brother and my nephew.I highly recommend this book for EVERYONE!

This is a beautifully made hardcover book (the hardcover is worth getting), with educational and appealing illustrations, and tons of information for all ages. It's 1 cm thick and 80 pages, but the info is spread out into many different small topics with beautiful pictures. An interested kid could sit and look at it for a long time. This is even interesting enough to be an adult coffee table book. I am saving it to give to a nephew when he is maybe 7 or 8 years old. Younger kids could still enjoy paging through it for the pictures, or read a few pages at a time, depending on what in nature is interesting to them. There's no narrative or story (it's kind of like a junior pictorial encyclopedia), so you could open the book up to any page at any given time and get enjoyment out of it. I imagine an elementary school teacher could even assign a different page to each small group for creative projects or for peer teaching. The type of kids who love to learn about the world around them and/or love knowing a lot of facts about nature/animals will love this book.

A classmate recommended this book when I mentioned I do not know much about trees. The illustrations are simply stunning and there is so much to learn, but not in an overwhelming way. I love it so much, I bought another one to gift to my niece. I think both of us, (young and old) will enjoy this book very much!

I love trees and love to teach my students about how valuable they are and they love this beautiful book. I hope they learn to love trees as much as I do. This book may be for younger students but my older students are special needs and they love it. Wonderful paper and feel to the this book. Highly recommend.

All about trees. I bought for me but my grandchildren love it too. Very educational and beautiful art

I bought this for my 6 year old grandson and my 7 year old great niece to celebrate Earth Day. They loved it and were amazed by the information and how it was presented. It’s a beautiful book color wise. I would have give it 5 stars, but my son said the print is a bit difficult to read on the bright colors at night.
I did a lot of research before I chose this book and it was well with it!
