BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
The boy lives in the city, but there is a quite grove of trees in an empty lot near his apartment. One is very special, but when he discovers the trees are in danger, he must do something quickly to save them.
Illustrations tell this beautiful wordless story. You can tell the boy is so lonely and that tree looks so much like an elephant - we were right there with the boy. A great look at ecology, imagination, and making a difference. I cried and I loved it so much. Highly recommended, especially to the tree lovers. The boy is white.
