Counting and nature combine in this tree-rific tale.
If you listen closely, the lone tree behind Oak Lane School has a story to tell. It starts with one owl, two spiders, and goes all the way up to ten earthworms using the tree as their home! So what does this tree need? Learn about the importance of trees and count from one to ten in this tale about going green.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Trees will speak only if you listen closely, Mr. Tate tells his students, as they prepare to plant trees near a large oak. As they listen, they hear the tree tell a counting story, which describes the animals that make the tree their home: One owl sits high on my branches, waiting for the moon. Two spiders cling tight to webs, spinning all day long. Snow's joyful cut-paper collages feel alive with activity, making this a green counting book with panache. Ages 4 7.
