Treemendous Books
Big trees tower over us. Little trees grow beneath us. Trees give shade on a hot summer day and a colorful display of leaves in the autumn time. They decorate themselves modestly in the winter and flamboyantly sprout new life in the spring.  Trees come in all shapes and sizes, but no matter what kind, they are a thing of majestic beauty. Show your appreciation by reading one of these children's books in fiction or non-fiction that explore the treemendous world of trees.
