A fast growing tree three miles out of town attracts all kinds of animals. There's 3 chipmunks, 2 sparrows and a whopping big bee. A chicken, 2 blue jays, a clown. Five mice and raven.

Comical and classy in text and art. There aren't many kids' books I'd pay $20 for, but this is one. Superb entertainment, bravo!

Rex's lettering and illustrations are playful and childlike but I can't imagine that this particular book would be easy for a child to follow especially since the text shifts in size and direction so frequently. I loved this book as an adult but wouldn't recommend it to children learning to read.

Love the illustrations, & artistic style.
The story is pleasantly rhymey, but a bit simple. Moral of the story: As strong and sturdy as a tree may seem, it cannot support an entire circus team.
