4. This is an amazing book that I can use on a science lesson about trees. It has a poem about a seed, the roots, leaves, and back, and many different kinds of trees. The poems are short and the pictures are interesting so it would keep students' attention, while giving an excellent description of the different parts of a tree and the different kinds of trees. For an activity, I can print an oversized map of the world and together as a class, we can decide where the trees talked about in the poems originate from. We can put little pictures of all the trees where they belong on the map. This will give students a better idea of the different climates that generate different trees.
