(4) K-3 When a beloved tree that has been in his family for generations is slated for removal, a boy protests and, with the help of some animals, wins the fight. The story's lack of detail, from the narrator's name to where he lives, makes it read like an outline, but McPhail's signature illustrations--heavily shaded, with sketchy contours--supply some particulars.
