A Little Guide to Trees

by Charlotte Voake, Kate Petty, Jo Elworthy

Overview

A delicately illustrated and engaging guide to trees for children
 
What sort of tree did Robin Hood's bow come from? What pine tree drops its needles in the winter? How did the "Monkey-puzzle" get its name? These are just some of the wonderful facts to be discovered inside this book. From century-old oaks and hollies to beech trees and willows, beautiful illustrations and simple text help children identify the trees they see every day, whether they live in the country or the city. With a tree scrapbook in the back to fill in and keep, this book is a wonderful way of encouraging a child to interact with their environment, helping them to respect and protect the trees that surround them. This resource teaches that trees give us shade and the oxygen we breathe, like tall green giants that watch over us—and they are beautiful!
