A Tree Is Nice (Rise and Shine)

I love this book, beautiful descriptions about trees as well as lovely illustrations. Brilliantly pitched, my 6-7 year old children enjoyed reading this during their book club session.

than the simplistic, overly naive and contrived little book. So do children. The story does not begin to touch upon the magic of trees and I don't understand why this is an award winner.

This book helps young kids understand the value of trees. Lovely illustrations, lots of ideas on how trees add to our lives. A favorite since my own childhood!

The illustrations are a little abstract, and I wish they were all in color, but overall the book tells a nice story about having trees in our lives. One thing that makes this book special, is the poetic way it presents things. Phrases like "The leaves whisper in the breeze, all summer long..." Now when the wind blows, the kids say "Listen! The wind is whispering!" and quiet down to hear it, so it definitely made an impression on them. Not every book can do that.

This is a favorite Caldecott book. I didn’t have a copy. Our city had a devastating derecho inAugust 2020 that took 70% of our tree canopy. This book helps with the healing. And we’ve planted new trees too.

Don’t flow as well as other books I’ve read but it’s still one of my kids favorites
