A Log's Life

by Wendy Pfeffer

A Log's Life Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

One stormy day a strong wind rages through the forest, causing an old oak tree to bend and sway. Lightning strikes; the tree crashes to the ground. Now it's a giant log.

In this fascinating book, author Wendy Pfeffer and illustrator Robin Brickman introduce readers to they life cycle of a tree. The informative, lyrical text is complemented by stunning, three-dimensional paper sculptures that showcase the forest ecosystem, inspiring readers to take a close look at the trees — and logs — in their own backyards.

Synopsis:

Through the simple yet dramatic story of a tree's life, death, and decomposition, this book introduces the cycle of life and illustrates the interdependence of living creatures. Includes a teacher's guide. Full color.
