Publisher Comments:

An ordinary train ride becomes and extraordinary trip to the great ancient forests

A subway trip is transformed when a young boy happens upon a book about redwood forests. As he reads the information unfolds, and with each new bit of knowledge, he travels--all the way to California to climb into the Redwood canopy. Crammed with interesting and accurate information about these great natural wonders, Jason Chin's first book is innovative nonfiction set within a strong and beautiful picture storybook.

Review:

Mixing the true and the truly wild, Jason Chin offers up engaging facts about the towering trees of California and Oregon along with bright, captivating illustrations that pluck a kid out of New York City and plunge him into the redwood forest. The book opens with a lone preteen waiting for the F train in Manhattan. He finds a book that looks uncannily like the one he’s in, and while absorbed... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) in it, he’s transported not to Brooklyn but to the land of the Sequoia sempervirens. The boy is suitably awestruck as he walks among giants and then, even better, climbs one, with the aid of a rope and a bow and arrow that suddenly appear before him. As he pulls himself up, he notices the plants and trees growing on redwoods and the animals living there, including some who’ve never seen the ground. At book’s end, after height comparisons to skyscrapers somehow bring him back to the city, a girl finds the book, and the next adventure begins.
