This book is sure to be loved by kids. It is very reminiscent of the styles of 'there was an old lady who swallowed a fly' and 'Joseph had a little overcoat'. The illustrations were great- i absolutely loved seeing a familiar face reappear at the end of the book.

This was a fun children's book written in sweet rhyme by Bhadra, and illustrated with color and flare by Cormier. Based on the pattern set up by Randolph Caldecott in his 1878 children's picture book The House That Jack Built, this could almost be a prequel to it. It's also reminiscent of the 1952 song, "I Know an Old Lady" by Rose Bonne and Alan Mills.

This book begins with a nut which fell from a tree - an acorn to be precise - which passes through the possession of several forest critters such as a rat, a blue jay, a goose, a raccoon, a bear, and on until it finally comes to rest in a place it can grow, where the grown tree provides a nifty site for a tree house! I enjoyed the rhymes and the beautiful illustrations and I commend this as a worthy read.

Pretty cute. The really distant drawings seem more interesting than the closer ones. It’s a fun rhyming story based on an old classic. Some of the rhythms aren’t completely natural, so I feel like it would take a good reader to make it flow nicely.

This book was soft and sweet and displayed the process of nature and how things grow. I loved the way each sentence was built upon creating a beautiful sort of alliteration. The story started off from a simple point and but seeing how each animal played a part truly brought it to life.

Wow! I totally adore the art!!!! The colours and the perfect illustrations!
The book is just fun to read out aloud. It's just the kind of the 'perfect' picture book that we adults want to read out loud to kids. I am so going to get this one when it comes out.

The theme is educational, vibrant and adventurous. Even for the adult who is reading out loud is learning something valuable regarding trees; how some animals and nature play a role in making a seed grow into a big, strong tree.
I had lots of fun reading this one.
