Brief Summary: This is all about trees. The book mentions a variety of trees and emphasizes the fact that trees support life. In the book, it says that trees give life. It is more informative than anything else.
Used in the Classroom: I think that this would really appeal to the students with naturalistic learners. I think that it would be good to include this book in the classroom. I like how the book expresses appreciation for nature. I think that this will be great in the classroom. I chose this book because of where I am wanting to teach. I think that if a teacher wants to instill or inspire students to have an appreciation for life and nature, they will be more likely to look at it in a new and respectful way. The illustrations of the book were a little dull for my taste. I am sure that this would appeal to some students, maybe. In addition, when addressing a certain subject like a particle topic in science, this might be a good introductory book.
