A Tree Is Nice - Written by Janice May Udry and Illustrated by Marc Simont
This Caldecott award winning book takes you and your child through the many benefits of trees. You will read about the changes in season, playing in leaf piles, climbing trees to pick apples, and how trees provide shade along with many other pleasures a tree provides.
I love reading this book to kids this time of year because it is a great way to talk about the leaves turning color and falling off and the how the weather will soon change. This short book would be good practice for the emerging reader because of it's simple sentences and illustrations that perfectly capture what the words say. A Tree Is Nice also explains, in basic terms, how to plant a tree and how fulfilling it can be to watch it grow over time. It may even inspire your family to plant your own tree.
