Overview / 简介: |
| Trees are beautiful. They fill up the sky. If you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk, roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of its limbs. Cows and babies can nap in the shade of a tree. Birds can make nests in the branches. A tree is good to have around. A tree is nice. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Simple, yet beautiful text, lovely illustrations and an interesting shape of eleven inches long by seven inches wide, A Tree Is Nice is a very special book that I would recommend for all children.
The text is very reader friendly which builds up confidence. My daughter is a picky reader but she can read this book. She's just finished Kindergarten and they learned the popular two and three letter words which were called "popcorn words." Sometimes I feel that was good and sometimes bad because often she doesn't want to R E A D other words (sounding them out.) This is exactly where A Tree Is Nice comes in to the rescue! There aren't long, intimidating words for young readers. It has the perfect length for my daughter so that she doesn't get frustrated and is isn't too easy or too short.
But the best part is the moral of motivating children to be "tree huggers" by realizing how beautiful and important trees are and appreciating the fact that so many of their childhood memories have to do with trees such as climbing them, picnicing under them, fishing by them, raking their leaves and jumping into the piles, swinging high on the swing hung on them and much more. These memories will hopefully encourage them to plant trees (planting a tree is mentioned in the book) and tell their friends so they will go plant a tree too! The only thing missing to me is the science about trees such as the fact that trees clean our air. But I believe A Tree Is Nice is a great book for teaching our children to love this earth and contribute to it by planting a tree. This book can open the door for discussions about other good things for the earth such as recycling, conserving energy and eating organic foods. o8E
