Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2 While delivering mail to the many creatures living in an enormous old tree, the pigeon mail carrier notices something strange: a big white X painted on the trunk. She starts asking the animals about it, and none of them knows what it means or where it came from. Finally, she gets to Captain Crow, who realizes that the X means that their precious home is in danger. Can the animals work together to find a way to stop the ax-wielding woodsmen? This well-written story is quite long by picture-book standards, but the suspense, combined with the charming details of the animals' personalities, will keep even younger listeners interested. The beautiful acrylic-and-watercolor paintings, all spreads, show a bucolic world in which the natural order is all too fragile compared with destructive human activity. A single, spectacular pop-up on the last spread may not last long, but it's not essential to an appreciation of the book as a whole.-Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL
