This book has beautiful illustrations, and I really liked the exploration element to it, where the reader only gets a peek of what is in the tree before turning the page. It also has an educational element, where you learn about the different types of things one could expect to find sharing a habitat.

Such a sweet peek-a-boo book and one that I adored. I know the kids in my classes are going to love it. They love guessing things, so this book will become a favorite for sure. I plan to use it on Fall, so I can make a cool art project to go with it. Love it!

Cute enough for a prediction-heavy book, though unoriginal.
