(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. Short sentences about tree parts and characteristics make analogies to human body parts and behavior. Some comparisons, such as bark to skin, focus on functionality; others are less scientific ("the trees burst with new life, just like you burst out the door...and celebrate spring") but may spark discussion. Warm acrylic and gouache illustrations show trees from different parts of the world. Additional information is appended.
