Because of an Acorn

32 pp. | Chronicle | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-1242-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon. A spare text describes the relationship between living things in an oak forest ecosystem. Some examples are of circumstance (the abundance of trees attracts nesting birds) and some of happenstance (a hawk alighting on a branch knocks off an acorn), but the book, with handsome illustrations featuring browns and greens, nicely emphasizes nature's interconnectedness. Additional oak forest information, including environmental tips, is included.
