(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vicki Jo Redenbaugh. Old Annie Livemore and her two young friends collect acorns ("shiny brown buttons with oak tree songs inside"), nurse the seedlings, then plant them throughout their treeless town, growing older alongside them. Softly shaded colored pencil illustrations in greens, grays, browns, and yellows mirror the text's gentle celebratory tone. Instructions for growing oak trees from acorns are appended.
Reviewer: Jackie C. Horne
