Submitted by SarahKate on Sat, 11/10/2007 - 14:17.SarahKate's Notes:
I think this is one of the best tree guide books for children I've ever read. Our guide is a Nome looking man, who was born in the trees. This book is full of fascinating facts that answer questions as an adult I've always wondered about trees. The girls enjoyed it almost as much as I did!
