This Is the Tree We Planted

Learn about all of the animals that coexist in just one tree that a classroom planted in this fun, informative, cumulative picture book in the tradition of This is the House That Jack Built.

A class plants a tree in the playground, and together, they watch it grow. There is no shortage of action to observe in its branches: a robin protecting her eggs from a squirrel and her kits, a lizard stalking a spider, and a hawk swirling around overhead. Within this tree is an entire ecosystem, all created by the class, who planted it.
