Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Trees are beautiful. They fill up the sky. If you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk, roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of its limbs. Cows and babies can nap in the shade of a tree. Birds can make nests in the branches. A tree is good to have around. A tree is nice.

Janice May Udry was born in 1928 in Jacksonville, Illinois and was graduated from Northwestern University in 1950. Her first book, A Tree is Nice, was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1956 for the illustrations by Marc Simont.

This is an adorable story to show the importance of trees. The author shows the reader the many things that trees are able to provide. The theme is discovering the beauty of something, even if it is just a tree. Trees might be taken for granted, but it is important to see how great they really are!
