Tree Song

I love nature books but I didn't like this book at all. It tells the story of a seed who grows, lives and dies. I actually had to read someone's review to understand that it was the plot of the book. To me, it was more like a succession of pages, with kids playing in the forest as seasons passed, with trees either small or tall.

My least favorite part is when a tree suddenly cracked, and the illustration makes it feel like it's going to fall on us.. There were absolutely no sign, no storm, nothing, and it felt very sudden and unnecessary scary. Also, when the tree is in two pieces, the illustration is completely wrong: the tree is neatly cut in half, just like with a humane saw, which is illogical, as the tree broke on its own, which should have been reflected in the uneven pieces of the tree. If there were only that... the text was trying to be poetic, but I didn't feel any pleasure reading it.

Thank you NetGalley and Annick Press Ltd for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Overall, I found this book illogical, with an unclear flow, and quite boring.
