This books has detailed descriptions of different kind of trees. At the beginning it describes what a tree is and how they grow. It then starts going into details about the different types of trees and gives examples of each type using illustrations. In some pages, there are small activities or experiments students can do to go along with the text. This book also has an index and glossary to be able to easily look up something instead of having to go through the entire book.
I would not read this entire book to the class, but might use the beginning of it to explain what a tree is and how it grows. The illustrations are appropriate for younger children, but the book has a lot of content that might be better for students between third grade and six grade. I would use this book to have students pick a favorite tree to do more research on or to branch of a flower unit.
