"In this first book in the Nature All Around series, kids will learn all about trees and the vital role that they play for people and animals. This introduction to the topic covers the different kinds of trees, how they grow and change throughout the seasons and how they provide a home to a variety of animals. Readers will get to know the trees in their neighbourhoods with the help of a tree-watching Q & A, an illustrated page to help identify leaves, and a full-spread map of different tree species across the United States and Canada. End matter includes information about endangered trees and how readers can help, a "Grow a Tree" activity, glossary and index."-- Provided by publisher.
