My Mother Talks to Trees

This is a great book to help refresh your memory on trees or to teach your children about trees and leaves. It gives information about deciduous and evergreen trees and what types of leaves to find on them. It also gives a list of most common trees in the back along with pictures of what the leaves should look like.

We just read this book today to our three year old son - picked up at the local library. He LOVED it and so did we.This is a wonderful gift book and a beautifully illustrated keepsake item that helps children learn to identify and appreciate trees.We will definitely be buying a copy for our son's permanent collection.

This book could have been written about me! It is a delightful way for both adult & child to get to know the trees in their neighborhood for you see, trees are vitally important to our well-being, not only because they add seasonal beauty to our lives, they also process the air we breathe, making it sweet & fresh & healthy!Some of the trees Doris & Marilynn introduce us to are the Dogwood, the Hickory, the Spruce & the Sassafras. At the book's end we learn other words to use when we talk to trees such as: simple leaf, lichen, pollen, needles, catkins & more.This is a superb learning book which will grow with your children & provide truly important information on those sentinels & havens for all sorts of critters.My Mother Talks to Trees is funny & informative & will make a perfect gift for any one who loves trees, who wants to know more about trees & for any girl or mom!

I teach preschool and my children just loved the story! We have been talking to trees for the past week!
