Tree Reviews

  • Sophie Crane

    Reading this Brings Me Back to When I Used to Watch the Eyewitness Series on Home Video in the 90s.

  • Jennifer B.

    I enjoyed learning all kinds of things about trees. I have always loved trees, literally being a tree-hugger. That's right, I'd wrap my arms right around a tree. Anyway, I found this edition to be a bit less clearly explained than some of the others in the series.

  • Stella

    Copy I picked up is a bit dated (1988) and talks about acid rain but not climate change. Still, amazing photographs of leaves, flowers, pine cones, bark, and all the other various parts of trees. Interesting to page through and would be useful in a tree unit or nature study at school.

  • Elise

    I picked this up at a library book sale, because I love trees. Sometimes a book written for children is the perfect light non-fiction because it teaches you things without making assumptions of what you already know.

  • Melissa

    Very informative and arranged in a way that kept it easy to read.

  • Janet

    Great reference for learning tree identification.

  • Kate

    Good, solid, informative book. Great for curious Young minds.

  • Becca Tillotson

    The boys love these books for our "science" reading

  • Vannessa Anderson

    As a tree lover I found Trees a fascinating read. The pictures and illustrations were eye-catching and I enjoyed learning everything taught about trees. I was overwhelmed with information and believe Trees to be a book geared towards those who might have an interest in Dendrology or Agronomist.

  • Timothy Boyd

    OK I know these are supposed to be kid books but they are awesome! Great pictures and just enough text to make you want to learn more. Great choices for a beginning history reader or to start an older reader out in a new area. Every time I pick one of these up and read it I learn new things. Highly Recommended

  • Theresa

    a child's resource that teaches about the function, format and the diversity of trees
