Ziefert, Harriet. Be Thankful for Trees. Brian Fitzgerald, Illus. Red Comet, 03/2022. [76]pp. Picture Book. GRADES Preschool-Kindergarten. $19.99. 978-1-63655-020-6. ADDITIONAL.
Ziefert’s informative picture book tribute to trees demonstrates seven ways (food, comfort, music, art, recreation, home, and life) that trees are useful to humans, animals, and the world. Full-page digital illustrations show many aspects of each of the seven ways and how animals, humans, or nature benefit from each. Useful for young readers to think about the many ways trees are important, this title would work well for a school lesson plan about nature, or shared aloud in any preschool.
