Cute story. Illusions were fun and both my 7 year old and 3 year old were able to read together and enjoy it. I would recommend this book.

Ah, what a life, to be wanted by so many and taken on the most adventurous journey in its lifetime. This has been a momentous occasion for the little acorn who now stands tall and proud, quite happy with its past. All thanks to the forgetful squirrel, who loves hiding things but could never remember exactly where he hid them. The illustrations are fun, quirky, and vibrantly colorful. A fun read for any child.

Endearing illustrations paired with an educational AND enjoyable storyline! Easy to follow and has phenomenal rhymes that will delight any child!

I will be honest and say that what drew me to this book was the title, which reminded me of a story told by a friend of mine years ago. The cover is underwhelming, and doesn’t have enough pull that I would stop to check it out if I saw it on a bookshelf. But, we all know not to judge a book by its cover.

The illustrations are beautiful and whimsical. I found myself stopping on every page just to check everything out. France Cormier did a great job with the details.

I typically like cumulative stories. This had me going for a while. And then it just switched gears and started a new cumulative part. I found myself having to re-read the pages several times to get back into the rhythm. That is where it lost me.

This was by far the cutest and amazing graphic novel I've recently read! I liked everything about it!

Growing up, my favorite book was The House That Jack Built. The Nut That Fell from the Tree by Sangeeta Bhadra is written in the same repetitive format as that, building the story page by page. I really enjoyed reading it and seeing how the nut was going to connect all the characters.

I love picture books like this, as they lend themselves so well to reading aloud.
It was fun to read, and then to try to read the paragraphs in one breath, which always leads to giggles.
A nice look at the life-cycle of a nut as well.
The illustrations are so detailed and gorgeous - I'd be happy to have them framed!
Recommend!!

The Nut That Fell from the Tree is inspired by a rhyme - The House that Jack Built, which is absolutely awesome! I love new adaptations of old favourites, so this already has a leg up against the competition.

Our story follows Jill and her little tree house. All of the adventures and shenanigans that occur happen because of an oak that fell from the tree. The journey is cute and fun, and definitely silly and goofy enough for young readers.

This book is more of a fun, rhyming game. It's a great book for young readers! I would recommend this book purely for the enjoyment it can bring.

The illustrations are whimsical and colourful, making this book stand out. I think they were quite cute and unique.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

If I were to come across this book in the store, I'd probably walk right on by, based on that cover. And that's a shame, because this is kind of a fun, cumulative story about the life cycle of an oak tree that's done in the style of "The House That Jack Built".

The story starts out in an oak tree where Jill's treehouse is built. An acorn falls to the ground, and is taken up by various creatures. Finally, it ends up buried and begins the growth cycle. Things come full circle in the end with a cute twist.

There are a number of books in this vein, and even based on this particular rhyme. I don't think I've seen one that tackles the life cycle of a tree before, though. The illustrations are detailed and bold, with lots of things to look at as the acorn makes its journey from Jill's tree to its new home.

Overall, this is a strong picture book that would probably work well for storytime reading sessions. The rhymes are fun yet informative, and the illustrations are appealing.

Delightful tale told in the tradition of "This is the House that Jack Built" - wonderful!

For children from toddler to at least age 5 or 6, perhaps 7.
The artwork (digital) is bold and of lush trees and landscapes, verdant and lusciously green. There are little animals to spy and a treehouse for wonder, and best of all, there is the story of an acorn that grows up to be something immense. This is every kid's dream: being tiny, but growing up big.

Wonderful, highly recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced reader copy for review. Honest opinion given.

Thank you for letting me review this book. This was a wonderful story with amazing pictures. I will recommend to our library to get this book for our collection. I believe it will be a favorite for the children and parents too. #NetGalley

While I was reading this, I just kept thinking that it would be a great read aloud in a kindergarten classroom. Students could easily read the repeated lines with their teacher.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Beatiful illustrations! And a fun take on such a classic storytelling idea. My kids will love it!

A cute take on a classic premise. Would be a great read aloud for PreK or K. Kids enjoy stories where they can jump in and repeat the next line. I loved the illustrations. Beautifully done.

This is one of the best reads I've been able to truly enjoy in a long time. I love circle reads and the rhyming and repetition is always a good thing! We follow the journey of a nut that fell off a tree and then travels from animal to animal until it comes to rest at the top of a hill. I loved the story, it was simple but so effective and fun. I flipped through it a few times because I enjoyed it so much. The illustrations are really great. I love the greens and blues throughout and the many animals. I think children would enjoy the humor and many animals in this story. I will for sure be recommending this title!

This is the story of an acorn and its tumultuous journey to being planted by nature. It shows a piece of nature that occurs almost accidentally, but also quite constantly. The use of the textual model of The House That Jack Built was appropriate, and it didn't detract from the story so much as it solidified the message of randomness for this acorn's journey from tree to planting and growth. I rather enjoyed this book, and I look forward to its publication. It was quite well written, and its illustrations were inviting and amusing, expressing the comedy of the animal expressions at losing the acorn. This would be a good read aloud book for primary elementary grades, and could even serve as a fun part of a science unit on plants and seeds. A sure buy for my library when it comes out.

Inspired by “the house that Jack built” this is a really fun picture book about the journey one acorn takes to become and oak tree. Kids will love the repeating lines and the pictures are vivid, making this a standout book.

Hmmm, yes and no – this is a pleasantly building rhyme of the sort where every verse adds a new item on to the front of a list, until it isn't and doesn't. The crunching stop, before it slowly resumes, is both the point of the whole piece and a bit of a hindrance to the story, but I don't see a work-around. It's a pleasant chain of events in the life of an acorn, but all acorns must change sooner or later into mighty oak trees. The message is very nicely presented visually, but breaking that chain in this way did raise an eyebrow.

I can easily imagine this becoming a classic picture book. The art work is beautifully charming and incredibly pleasing to look at the. The writing is engaging and entertaining. The story is incredibly sweet and suitable for any child.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Have you ever wondered how trees become trees? This cute story depicts the journey an acorn may take before becoming a tree. The colorful illustrations and repetitive text keeps young readers engaged all the way to the end of the story. I love how the conclusion requires readers to make an inference based on an illustration. I can’t wait to read this story to my students when we learn about seeds and plants.
