NATURE ALL AROUND: TREES

WRITTEN BY PAMELA HICKMAN

ILLUSTRATED BY CAROLYN GAVIN

This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated introduction to trees is part of the essential Nature All Around series. Readers will discover the many ways trees are vital to the planet and the animals that call them home. The book explores the parts of trees, their life cycle and seasonal changes, the different kinds of trees and leaves and how trees survive and reproduce. A full-spread map illustrates the forest regions across the United States and Canada. And there's even a section for “budding” tree-watchers, with fun questions to help identify trees in their neighborhoods. Bestselling author Pamela Hickman's child-friendly, informative text pairs with Carolyn Gavin's stunning watercolour illustrations for a complete reference tool and a book that children will be drawn to for its enticing visual appeal.
