This was by far the cutest and amazing graphic novel I've recently read! I liked everything about it!

Growing up, my favorite book was The House That Jack Built. The Nut That Fell from the Tree by Sangeeta Bhadra is written in the same repetitive format as that, building the story page by page. I really enjoyed reading it and seeing how the nut was going to connect all the characters.

I love picture books like this, as they lend themselves so well to reading aloud.
It was fun to read, and then to try to read the paragraphs in one breath, which always leads to giggles.
A nice look at the life-cycle of a nut as well.
The illustrations are so detailed and gorgeous - I'd be happy to have them framed!
Recommend!!

The Nut That Fell from the Tree is inspired by a rhyme - The House that Jack Built, which is absolutely awesome! I love new adaptations of old favourites, so this already has a leg up against the competition.

Our story follows Jill and her little tree house. All of the adventures and shenanigans that occur happen because of an oak that fell from the tree. The journey is cute and fun, and definitely silly and goofy enough for young readers.

This book is more of a fun, rhyming game. It's a great book for young readers! I would recommend this book purely for the enjoyment it can bring.

The illustrations are whimsical and colourful, making this book stand out. I think they were quite cute and unique.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

If I were to come across this book in the store, I'd probably walk right on by, based on that cover. And that's a shame, because this is kind of a fun, cumulative story about the life cycle of an oak tree that's done in the style of "The House That Jack Built".

The story starts out in an oak tree where Jill's treehouse is built. An acorn falls to the ground, and is taken up by various creatures. Finally, it ends up buried and begins the growth cycle. Things come full circle in the end with a cute twist.

There are a number of books in this vein, and even based on this particular rhyme. I don't think I've seen one that tackles the life cycle of a tree before, though. The illustrations are detailed and bold, with lots of things to look at as the acorn makes its journey from Jill's tree to its new home.

Overall, this is a strong picture book that would probably work well for storytime reading sessions. The rhymes are fun yet informative, and the illustrations are appealing.

Delightful tale told in the tradition of "This is the House that Jack Built" - wonderful!

For children from toddler to at least age 5 or 6, perhaps 7.
The artwork (digital) is bold and of lush trees and landscapes, verdant and lusciously green. There are little animals to spy and a treehouse for wonder, and best of all, there is the story of an acorn that grows up to be something immense. This is every kid's dream: being tiny, but growing up big.

Wonderful, highly recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced reader copy for review. Honest opinion given.

While I was reading this, I just kept thinking that it would be a great read aloud in a kindergarten classroom. Students could easily read the repeated lines with their teacher.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Beatiful illustrations! And a fun take on such a classic storytelling idea. My kids will love it!

A cute take on a classic premise. Would be a great read aloud for PreK or K. Kids enjoy stories where they can jump in and repeat the next line. I loved the illustrations. Beautifully done.

This is the story of an acorn and its tumultuous journey to being planted by nature. It shows a piece of nature that occurs almost accidentally, but also quite constantly. The use of the textual model of The House That Jack Built was appropriate, and it didn't detract from the story so much as it solidified the message of randomness for this acorn's journey from tree to planting and growth. I rather enjoyed this book, and I look forward to its publication. It was quite well written, and its illustrations were inviting and amusing, expressing the comedy of the animal expressions at losing the acorn. This would be a good read aloud book for primary elementary grades, and could even serve as a fun part of a science unit on plants and seeds. A sure buy for my library when it comes out.

Inspired by “the house that Jack built” this is a really fun picture book about the journey one acorn takes to become and oak tree. Kids will love the repeating lines and the pictures are vivid, making this a standout book.

Hmmm, yes and no – this is a pleasantly building rhyme of the sort where every verse adds a new item on to the front of a list, until it isn't and doesn't. The crunching stop, before it slowly resumes, is both the point of the whole piece and a bit of a hindrance to the story, but I don't see a work-around. It's a pleasant chain of events in the life of an acorn, but all acorns must change sooner or later into mighty oak trees. The message is very nicely presented visually, but breaking that chain in this way did raise an eyebrow.

Have you ever wondered how trees become trees? This cute story depicts the journey an acorn may take before becoming a tree. The colorful illustrations and repetitive text keeps young readers engaged all the way to the end of the story. I love how the conclusion requires readers to make an inference based on an illustration. I can’t wait to read this story to my students when we learn about seeds and plants.

This adorable story follows the adventure of "a nut" that comes from a great big oak tree. Written by Sangeeta Bhadra, "The Nut That Fell From The Tree" has a cast of woodland creatures that all interact somehow with that same little acorn. Our kids loved the animals and how they impacted the acorn. Our favorite character in particular was the deer in the middle of the story! They were so cute! The kids noted that it was very repetitive, but they said they liked it. The illustrations were also excellent! Overall we would recommend this book time and time again!

We live in the midwest and have oak trees and acorns in our yard, so this book was a super fun read for my kiddos. It's so great that they can learn about nature without even realize they're learning. I, as the reader, was not a fan of the repetitive parts, but my kids liked them. The illustrations jumped off the page... so colorful and detailed!

This is a beautiful little story. It is engaging and pretty. My children loved it and so did I. My colleagues in school would definitely love it too for their classes. There was so much score for use in the classroom too in extensions English, Irish, nature and art lessons. We loved it. 5 stars from us!!!!

I absolutely loved this book! Everything about it from the story to the illustrations was wonderful. It's about a little acorn that gets tossed about by several different animals. Will the acorn finally be left alone so that it can grow into an oak?
The repetition in the story was good and not confusing for younger readers. I would definitely recommend.

This was a great little story and the illustrations in this book are beautiful. I wish it could have been a little longer.

Thanks to NetGalley, Kids Can Press, Sangeeta Bhadra and France Cormier for a free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is sure to be loved by kids. It is very reminiscent of the styles of 'there was an old lady who swallowed a fly' and 'Joseph had a little overcoat'. The illustrations were great- i absolutely loved seeing a familiar face reappear at the end of the book.

This was a fun children's book written in sweet rhyme by Bhadra, and illustrated with color and flare by Cormier. Based on the pattern set up by Randolph Caldecott in his 1878 children's picture book The House That Jack Built, this could almost be a prequel to it. It's also reminiscent of the 1952 song, "I Know an Old Lady" by Rose Bonne and Alan Mills.

This book begins with a nut which fell from a tree - an acorn to be precise - which passes through the possession of several forest critters such as a rat, a blue jay, a goose, a raccoon, a bear, and on until it finally comes to rest in a place it can grow, where the grown tree provides a nifty site for a tree house! I enjoyed the rhymes and the beautiful illustrations and I commend this as a worthy read.
