HOW IT WORKS: TREE is an engaging and educational book about trees. The book follows an apple tree through the seasons with information about how they grow and how animals use them as well.

What I loved: This is a clever book with die-cut pages that allow the tree to change on each page. Animal friends add to the fun of looking at the tree through the seasons on each page. The use of the seasons works well to see how it changes over time - and reflect the changes in trees that children will see around them in every day life. The text keeps things simple with basic information given throughout, which is great for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to consider and explore the world around them.

There are a lot of details on each page that can be visually explored as children age and begin to get used to the story, such as the chrysalis that appears and parents can explain, and the animals that live around the tree.

Final verdict: HOW IT WORKS: TREE is a delightful and educational board book that teaches about trees through the seasons with fantastic die-cut peek-throughs and lots of animal friends. Recommend for toddlers and young preschoolers who are curious about the world around them.
