Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 3—An engaging, informative book encouraging ecological awareness for young readers. The ecosystem of a giant redwood tree is charmingly presented in this beautifully illustrated counting book that uses rhyme and rhythm based on the numbers one through 10, stanzas, and snippets of facts about animals who actually live in the redwoods. The text emphasizes counting, number recognition, and simple animal facts. Exquisite, highly detailed illustrations in a palette of natural woodland colors and tones complement the text. The pictures have a soft, blurred edge, which makes all the creatures, even the wood rats, seem appealing. The illustrated animals and the text are displayed in large enough format for young readers to easily discern, enabling them to make the connection between the words, numbers, and pictures. End notes add to the value of this title. There is a fact sheet about giant redwoods, another about the animals featured, a pictorial index to additional animals, and several authoritative online resources listed, as well as QR code access. A STEAM activities page has five educational and age-appropriate projects, such as making bark pictures by using the long side of crayons on paper held against a tree. VERDICT An excellent addition to any nonfiction collection, a great classroom tool for STEAM, and a fun read-a-loud at school, in the library, and at home.—Gretchen Crowley, formerly at Alexandria City Public Libraries, VA

About the Author

Anthony D. Fredericks is a veteran nature explorer. He grew up on the beaches of southern California and during summers camped (and swatted mosquitoes) in the Sierra Nevada mountains of eastern California. Later he attended high school and college in Arizona where he often spent his free time trekking through the Sonoran desert. Now Tony explores the hillside in south-central Pennsylvania where he and his wife reside and frequently hikes the mountains of western Colorado where his granddaughter lives. A former classroom teacher and reading specialist, he is Professor of Education at York College. As the author of more than 30 children's books (some about "buggy" things) he is a frequent visitor to schools around the country, where he shares the wonders of nature with a new generation of naturalists.

I purchased this book on a whim because my toddler loves animals and counting. It immediately became a favorite in our home - both for the kids and the grown-ups! The illustrations are beautifully detailed and I find myself always discovering something new. This book discusses different living beings in a forest and I love that they are not the ones you might expect (e.g. slugs, bats). My son had a blast counting the creatures and it’s especially fun that he has to search for some of them. I always love a good rhyming book and this does not disappoint. As a warning, one page depicts an owl with a dead mouse in its mouth - realistic but also worth being aware of so you’re not surprised if you need to explain it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but not what I was hoping for
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

This book is pretty good, beautiful pictures. It’s a counting book which isn’t really what I was expecting - so each page is 1 squirrel lives up high, 2 woodpeckers... etcetera ( It’s focus isn’t so much on trees as it is the animals that live in the trees). The font is large print and fairly simple. There are five pages at the end of the book with tree and forest facts aimed at older children and adults. Overall not what I was expecting, as I was hoping for something more tree focused for younger kids, but still a nice book.
