Pure picture-book magic. A polar bear rides a whale to a tree rising out of the water. At the top of the tree is a tree house. He’s joined by a brown bear in a boat. The bears find that the tree house is the perfect place to read. When the water recedes, they are joined by flamingos, panda bears, and other animals that come by land and air. The tree house is a place of wonder, where a brown bear catches snowflakes in a butterfly net.

Marije Tolman studied illustration and graphic design at the Royal Academy for Visual Arts in the Hague and at the Edinburgh Class of Art in Scotland. She works full-time as a children's book illustrator in the Netherlands. Her father, Ronald Tolman, is a sculptor, painter, and graphic artist.
PreSchool-Grade 1—A wordless picture book about an elaborate wooden structure in the tree. Three stories tall, it soaks up the water surrounding its base as animals inhabit its various nooks and crannies. Bears, peacocks, owls, and a hippo all find different ways to amuse themselves while up so high. Some swing from the branches; others read books or welcome newcomers. When it's time to go, the animals leave as friends. Two panda bears ride on the hippo's back and a black bear makes room in his flying boat for a peacock. Soft pastel spreads allow readers to see all the activity in and around the tree and the changing background colors. Children will gaze in wonder at this tree house and understand the rhino's longing (and obvious impatience) to be up in its branches. This oversize picture book celebrates acceptance of others and the splendor of nature.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada
