I enjoyed reading this book for a couple of reasons. This is an informational children's book that incorporated many important features of any informational text. For example, there were many kid-friendly technical illustrations, like the one labeling the parts of a tree. The illustration is colorful and the font of the labels are in a cute curly-q font to appeal to children. This is an inviting informational book that shares important concepts about nature. This book also covers a wider range of information about trees, like the history of some trees and the purposes of trees for humans and animals. In the text is says, "Trees give us fruit. Trees give us nuts. Trees give us turpentine. Trees give us maple syrup. Without trees, many animals would have no homes." Something that I found interesting and admirable is the bigger message of this book encouraging and advising people to protect trees. ( )
