Description
Before they begin planting new trees, Mr. Tate tells his students to listen closely as the lone tree behind their school counts out ten ways it serves the needs of different animals.
Quick Summary
A lonely tree behind a school starts counting out loud, and what it says will surprise every child who listens. Kids will love that the tree has a voice and shares ten amazing ways it helps birds, bugs, and beasts, making them see nature in a whole new way. If your kid likes "The Giving Tree" but wants something with more action and counting, they'll adore this one. Perfect for kindergarten through second graders who are ready for short chapter books or advanced picture book readers.
