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.”
This rhyming fall book can be used in speech therapy to address inferencing and life cycle. It is also great for describing and for targeting complex sentence structure as well as for /l/, /k/, /m/, /tr/ and /th/ sounds!
