(2) PS The book begins with a "bare brown tree." In order to see the tree's "magic," the text instructs readers to "tap it once"; with a page turn the tree now has one green leaf. As the book goes on, children can rub the tree, tap new pink buds, etc. The story has a satisfying arc that encourages close observation of nature.
