(3) K-3 A small boy celebrates being different and solitary in this small sweet book. His best friend Bertolt, an old oak, serves as a place to climb, hide, and play. When the tree dies after a harsh winter, the boy is at first devastated but then devises a clever plan to honor his friend. Scribbly line drawings with impressionistic color details add character.
