(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Swan. Pearson balances scientific detail and sensory description to imagine the lifespan of the world's tallest tree, a coast redwood. Forest sounds both natural ("creak!") and unnatural ("whir!") abound. Though jarringly slick, Swan's digital collages capture the textures of the dense forest; readers may particularly enjoy spotting the semi-hidden wildlife throughout. Back matter includes redwood facts that expand on the poetic text. Bib.
