About this title

Synopsis

Follows the development of a large old maple tree from its growth from a seed during the American Revolution to its maturity in the late twentieth century

Reviews

Grade 1-4-- Mixing fact with fiction in picture book format, Hiscock tells the story of a sugar maple tree from a winged seed sprouting during the American Revolution to the present day when a picnic is held under its towering branches every Fourth of July. Not only are historical events mentioned--George Washington as president, logging, the Civil War--but also biological systems such as photosynthesis and the running of sap are explained. Even the complex process of how trees grow is clearly stated. Because of this simplicity, transitions in time are quick, especially once the story line reaches the 20th century. Yet, for the most part, Hiscock moves smoothly from one event to the next, piquing interest while inspiring further discussion. Realistic ink-and-watercolor drawings show the tree as it grows and the people and activities that surround it over the years. --Martha Topol, Interlochen Public Library, MI
