I am beginning to see Quarto Publishing as some kind of quality assurance mark for non-fiction books. This one is as fabulous as the other non-fiction books I have previewed from the same publisher.
It is an informative book to guide children in their quest for knowledge on trees. It will help them build a connection with the tree. The information is really spot-on and the illustrations are just glorious. My only complaint is that it will be better if it could be publish in July. Students will have more time to explore nature during their summer holiday.
Great book for explorative kids and their grown ups! I love the graphics in this book, and that it takes you along a "journey" of hanging out with a tree, but through it all you learn little snippets of facts about trees. Books like these are the kind of thing that get kids interested in nature and science, and I love how simple it is yet effective all the same
I've been a tree lover all my life; my first nature book was on identifying trees. I am now a tree surgeon. I read this lovely, bright, cheerful little book, and I'm an instant fan of the authors.
Bring this to school or the Guides or Scouts. Bring it on a family picnic, walk or holiday. Give it to a young person with no friends or with many friends. The activities and uses suggested are fun, educational and crafting, with much need for kids to do their own research - what tree species they choose, what birds they can identify. Solid advice too such as not eating anything like berries or fungi, and climbing when an adult is around to help. The visuals are inclusive and concisely informative.
Enjoy! I read an e-ARC from Net Galley. This is an unbiased review.
My daughter and I took this (digital copy) to the park with us and picked a tree and learned all about it thanks to this fun book! Our favorite part was the guided tree bath moment where we looked up at the tree and breathed the air and felt the wind and leaves. This book is an adorable interactive learning experience full of beautiful illustrations and facts that help young readers discover the trees around them!

I'm excited for this book to be released, because I'd LOVE to have a copy JUST to have a copy. It feels like a coffee table/nature fun activity book. There's no story -- it's more or less 21 ways to interact with a tree, or 21 tree-related nature activities to get a child (or yourself) out and interacting with nature.
This illustrated book is a very fun read. It offers multiple suggestions to entertain kids outside, and engage them more in/with nature. The images are all very pretty, and it's filled with inspiring ideas to spend quality, meaningful time outdoors.
I ADORE this book it is so cute and so much fun I can’t wait to take my 8 year old on an adventure! Also the representation in the illustrations are great. It’s such a fun book while also teaching and getting you outdoors.
