Reviews
Not only does this tree count, it matters! The double meaning of the title uses the lone tree behind the Oak Lane School as a taproot for a counting book as well as an environmental message. The tree needs friends so Mr. Tate’s class (no grade cited) decides to plant more trees—but first he claims the tree has a story to tell. As the kids gather round the tree, they hear and see: one owl, two spiders, four robins, seven crickets, etc., all the way up to 10 earthworms. Not only is the tree a home for many creatures but also it contributes to nature by providing shade and “washing” the air, and eventually it becomes things like a tree house, a pencil, and a guitar. The message branches out into a concisely written story with a child’s point of view that is enlivened with realistic and artfully composed paper-cut and digital-collage illustrations. Teachers will welcome this “going green” tale, which ends with the junior tree huggers planting more trees. Preschool-Grade 2. --Julie Cummins
