I'm listing to the 5.5 year old read this one today. It's our first choice in our Forest for the Trees Unit Study (HomeschoolLegacy.com). It is also on the science resource list for Memoria Press in the Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade curriculum!
There is material on the anatomy of a tree as well as examples from various trees. There are lots of examples of comparison in the illustrations to really let kids understand even if they do not have access to such as Mexican bald cypress.
Chemistry is touched on in the mention of carbon dioxide to oxygen reaction. Geography is touched on the mention of specimen locales.
Leaves are featured and described. Perfectly an introduction and primer to the study of ecology and trees for the younger elementary crowd. Seeds are illustrated and explained in brief how they travel again. Ages of trees are mentioned and dinosaurs too. Senses and smells are here too.
All in a Dr. Seuss worthy rhythm Bonnie Worth has written a great one here. Educational and fun, perfect for it's cause. A great intro to our unit study on trees.
I bought this one to have for our Memoria Press studies and in delighted to bring it out again for this study.
Reading again 2/8/2017 with the Princess.
