Learn all about trees, leaves, and their inner workings in this colorful, favorite picture book by award-winning nonfiction author and illustrator Gail Gibbons.

Trees shelter and surround us. Their leaves offer shade from the hot summer sun. In autumn, they dazzle us with color. In winter, they stand tall against a cold and snowy background. Trees may look solitary, but each one is teeming with life.

Tell Me, Tree is a child's guide to the wide variety of trees that surround us, including how to identify them the structure of trees, with cut-away illustrations and labels. The book also includes an explanation of photosynthesis and a special section on how to make a tree identification book of your own. Tell Me, Tree, is the perfect read for Earth Day and Arbor Day, and for nature-lovers year-round.

"In this simple, informative book, Gibbons provides a basic guide that is sure to please parents and teachers as well as children." -- Booklist

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3--This inviting, oversized book lives up to its subtitle. The large watercolor pictures, peopled by children of various ethnic backgrounds, make it a perfect book for classroom sharing. Gibbons discusses the parts of the tree and their functions, types of fruits and seeds, kinds of bark, and uses for trees. She includes a discussion of photosynthesis and gives directions for students to make their own tree identification books. Relevant terms are highlighted in the text and identified in the illustrations. It's a good book to team with Diane Burns's Trees, Leaves, and Bark (NorthWord, 1995; o.p.) and Arthur Dorros's A Tree Is Growing (Scholastic, 1997).

From Booklist

Ages 4-8. In this large-format guide, Gibbons discusses the parts of a tree and their functions, the growth of trees, and the different types of trees. She introduces topics such as photosynthesis and the meaning of terms such as phloem and cambium. In the almost wordless section on identification, the shapes of 15 different trees are shown alongside close-ups of their leaves and bark. The book closes with a discussion of how trees are useful to people, animals, and the environment, and directions for making a tree identification book. The bright watercolor illustrations show cheerful children and adults observing, planting, using, and enjoying many kinds of trees. In this simple, informative book, Gibbons provides a basic guide that is sure to please parents and teachers as well as children. Carolyn Phelan

Review

"A very fine introduction to trees for beginning and challenged readers. Gibbons, in her usual careful manner, discusses tree seeds and tree parts, including stems, bark, roots, and leaves... Her trademark pen-and-watercolor drawings appear on every page, complementing and extending the text. A dozen trees are included in the "Identifying Trees" section showing leaves, bark, and the full tree outline -- a terrific tool for adults, too. She concludes with directions for collecting and pressing leaves and making bark rubbings and a page of interesting facts... Sure to please."―Kirkus Reviews

I love this book and learned so much about trees. Did I say that i'm an adult although this book was purchased for a child.
It's really not for the very young but for an older child 7 or older it's perfect. Excellent information

My grandson loved this book. He told his kindergarten teacher about it and she asked if he could bring it into school. The teacher shared it with the class and they all really enjoyed it. They had been talking about seeds and leaves and trees earlier in the day.

Good overview of tree lore

I ordered this book sight unseen for my three year old granddaughter because it is her favorite book at the public library. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived because of its very good content. I am a retired science teacher and taught a unit on trees and leaves for many years, so I've seen a lot of mediocre texts and classificatio books. When my granddaughter opened the book on Christmas morning, you should have seen her face; she obviously has good taste in non-fiction books!

Good book!

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a good kid-level book about trees. The pictures are lovely and it's easy to understand- even I learned a few new things! It's a rather "involved" book in that it may be better for a classroom or reference than a bedtime book, but it's great none-the-less!
