Tom Leonard.
These books offer readers a focused look at a tide pool and at the rotting hole in a tree. The detailed pictures and second-person text work well together to show how the animals that inhabit these two microcosms adapt to the coming and going of the tide and to the demise of the tree from the inside out. Review covers these titles: One Small Place by the Sea and One Small Place in a Tree.
