The Old Tree

32 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3461-2 $16.99
(4) K-3 An old tree is home to squabbling rabbits, squirrels, birds, and a cranky badger, but a large X painted on the tree signifies its impending demolition. The animals come up with a clever solution just in time to save their home from destruction. The fastidiously old-fashioned nature of Brown's acrylic and watercolor illustrations balances the modern (and overt) environmentalist message.
Reviewer: Paula M. Cairo
