The Busy Tree by Jennifer Ward
Spectacular illustrations rendered in oil paint, and a rhyming text that describes a tree's activities from its roots to its branches, introduce young readers to the amazing activities that go on in a tree. Acorns nibbled by chipmunks, ants scurrying across a trunk, a spider spinning a web, leaves breathing out air for all to breathe in-everything adds up to a busy tree for all to come and see.
