The Tree: An Environmental Fable Summary

The Tree: An Environmental Fable by Neal Layton

A delightful picture book with a wonderful twist which encourages young children to think about the way animals and humans live side by side.

The tree. Home to a family of birds in their nest, squirrels in their drey and rabbits in their burrow. But what happens to the animals when a man and woman decide to cut it down and use it for their dream house? Can the tree be home to both the animals and the humans? A simple yet fun and distinctive picture book, with a strong environmental message about the importance of respecting animal habitats, by the award-winning Neal Layton.

The Tree: An Environmental Fable Reviews

...an extremely simple and beautifully illustrated story. Culture Baby It is a story aimed at younger readers who will appreciate reading it over and over again, but its message is appealing to a much wider audience. This is also an excellent recommendation for schools who want a gentle approach to exploring the impact of our actions on the world we live in. Inis Magazine This excellent picture book, which at first glance is perfect for younger readers but promotes themes that can be explored by all ages, highlights the importance of understanding the environment around us and how our actions, deliberate or not, can harm it. The Reading Zone A delightful story with a strong environmental message, this fun and distinctive picture book for young children is shortlisted for the Gold Smarties Award. Primary Times A delightful story with a strong environmental message, this fun and distinctive picture book for young children is shortlisted for the Gold Smarties Award. Primary Times Very simple text combines with expressive illustrations to tell a moving story about the importance of respecting animal habitats, and how we can help. Parents in Touch If Neal Layton were a bird, he'd be part of that genus that includes John Burningham and Quentin Blake, because it is with similar delight and abandon that he warbles and flits about his own branches. It's blue dawn as we glide toward the cozy conifer at the centre of Layton's lovely new book, The Tree. New York Times

About Neal Layton

While Neal was growing up, he spent much of his time playing in the dirt, making homemade catapults and drawing pictures. He studied BA Graphic Design at Newcastle and MA Illustration at Central Saint Martins. His studio is a room in his house where he can make a mess. The walls are covered with pictures, drawings, scribbles, badges, photos, posters, packaging and anything else that he finds inspiring. He uses all sorts of different media to make his illustrations: pencils, paint, pens, ink, pieces of collage, biros, photocopiers, cameras, a computer, bits of stick, old toothbrushes, dough, hair, leaves, anything that comes to hand... He likes his illustrations to appear as fresh and spontaneous as possible. He lives in Portsmouth with his family. Visit Neal's website: www.neallayton.co.uk
