A Tree is Nice

By Janice May Udry (1956)
Illustrations by Marc Simont
Caldecott Award Winner





I think what drew me to this book in the library was the simplistic illustration on the cover (that and the Caldecott medal). I think that the illustrations are a perfect match for the simple text of the book, talking about the many ways that trees are nice.

This book is certainly geared towards younger students. I could see using s book like this to introduce a lesson on plants in an early science lesson. Or perhaps it could be tied in to an environmental appreciation unit.
