I liked it a lot, the drawings are well done and they make easy to the kids to recognize the trees from its leaves. Also the explanations about pollination and so on are very clear, so I think this is a good book to start learning about trees.

Questo libro illustrato mi é piaciuto molto perché i disegni rendono facile risalire all'albero dal tipo di foglie, inoltre le spiegazioni piú generali, come per esempio quelle sull'impollinazione, sono chiare, quindi direi che questo é un buon volume per iniziare ad imparare a riconoscere i vari tipi di alberi.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

For a 'my first tree-spotting' guide, this can surely not be beaten. It takes us through the biology of a tree, whether deciduous or evergreen, guides us through what is happening to a tree at any stage in the year, and gets us to appreciate them with the help of simple things to look for when tree-spotting. Sure, it won't itemise all of the many hundreds of species we might encounter, but in simply telling us what the right questions to ask are, we will soon learn a knowledge of the different species – something I never really grew up with, even with my rural upbringing. So for the simple fact that this book will soon make kids smarter than I am, this gets a very good mark. My ignorance can't attest to the veracity of the artwork, but I dare say it's accurate enough. Certainly this is a must-consider. Four and a half stars.
