| Kindergarten-Grade 3—Despite the sounds of the other children at play, Gus manages to doze off while sitting against a tree during recess. Soon he is dreaming that he is a big, old tree with bark striped red, yellow, and orange just like the sweater he wears. He feels the wind, watches the forest creatures, enjoys a moonlit night, and experiences refreshing drops of rain. Back in the schoolyard, Gus awakens to the call of his friends, who are now wearing raincoats and carrying umbrellas. This story glories in the joys of nature and being in the forest. A glossary contains tree-related words that are found in capital letters throughout the text. The illustrations are a blend of paintings and photographs. As Gus begins to dream, the artwork turns into a surreal mix of textures, perspectives, and colors. Their dreamlike quality complements the text nicely.—Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| "Gus is a Tree" is the latest book in a children's series on science and nature for 3-6 year olds. While playing with other children, Gus falls asleep beneath a tree, then dreams of experiencing life as the tree. "Gus is a Tree" is beautifully illustrated by whimsical paintings of Gus-become-a-tree in a forest of trees (the reader can distinguish the Gus tree by its red and yellow stripes that match his shirt). Gus shares the forest with other trees, including birches, oak and beeches. He sees an autumn sunset and a wild boar family search for food. Night falls and he senses other creatures - owls, bats, even a dormouse that lives in a knot in another tree. he experiences a refreshing fall of rain and feels squirrels scamper up and down his bark. Then he is awakened by his friends who tell him it is time to go inside from the rain. In addition to the stunning illustrations and lyric narrative, "Gus is a Tree" has a helpful photo index of forest words that helps further define tree existence. It will capture young readers' interest and teach effortlessly.
