A Tree for Me

32 pp. | Knopf | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-679-89384-9 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sheila White Samton. Each time a boy thinks he's found the perfect tree for climbing, he finds it already occupied--first by one owl then by two possums and so on up to five spiders. The simple rhyming text is fun to read aloud, and although it's highly repetitive, its spirited rhythm keeps it from becoming boring. Bright collages show the variety of woodland creatures in the trees.
