BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Three friends play in the shade of a huge tree. One day they learn that the tree is sick and will need to be cut down. What can they do, they will miss the tree so much! 

OK story and meh illustrations. I was hoping for a little stronger ecological ending, or at least a ring counting of the tree (they wondered about it, but never gave a count.) The characters are cats.
