Trees

I absolutely loved this book and so did my students. I highly recommend this book to be a part of a classroom science library.

great science lesson

One small place by in a Tree takes the reader on an imaginary journey to a forest where a brown bear is clawing a tree trunk. A hole is made from the claw marks. Then timber beetles eat away at the wood inside. The hole grows bigger and bigger. It starts to die inside because bacteria has set in. The tree then becomes home to many woodland animals. The book was very informative. I learned a lot about forests and ecology while reading this book. I would recommend it to all parents who wish to give their child an appreciation of nature, and to every teacher as a curriculum-enrichment aid.
