I purchased TREES ARE NOT JUST FOR BIRDS by Bonnie Grubman for my great niece. She loved the sweet and descriptive illustrations and addition of each adorable animal to Bird’s perfect tree. As I read her the book, we talked about sharing, making friends, and different things about each animal in the tree. I highly recommend this book and know I’ll be reading it with my great niece many times!
