Description

Winner of the Caldecott Medal A radiant and buoyant picture book. –The Horn BookA Tree Is Nice is a classic tale about the beauty of the everyday world. Simont s watercolors perfectly complement the poetic simplicity of the text, allowing the reader room to engage in his or her own imaginative embroiderings about trees (Children s Books and Their Creators).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.
