Trees by Verlie Hutchens

5.0

I read this on a "story walk." It was cool to try to identify the next tree by sight, before getting close enough to read the text. This seems like a great book for a read-aloud, and then to have in the classroom for curious young readers to look at again and again at their leisure. The illustrations are beautiful. They're not completely photo-realistic, but the art style matches each of the trees. The texts are creative and dreamy, and a great way to introduce children to poetic language.
