A Tree for Me

A Tree for Me by Van Laan, Nancy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780679893844.

In simple rhyme, Nancy Van Laan tells the joyous story of a child looking for a tree to call his own. He climbs five trees and discovers them occupied by everything from one owl nesting to five spiders spinning, until at last he finds the tree thats perfect for him . . . right in his own backyard! Told from a childs perspective, this engaging book has many levels: its a counting book, a book of concepts, and a point-and-say book, and it also shows every childs desire to explore the big, wide world and know that the comfort of home is close at hand. Bold, graphic illustrations add to the fun, making this a great choice for young audiences.
