This Tree, 1, 2, 3

by Alison Formento

Summary: A tree behind a school counts for students the ten ways that it serves the needs of different animals.

This is a unique counting book. The pages are extremely thick, which makes it ideal for young children who like to hold books themselves. When reading to a preschool age child, an adult can discuss the double meaning of “this tree counts.” The tree literally counts things but also counts or makes a difference in this world. This book is appropriate for any environmental discussions with young children.
