Phyllis- A TREE IS NICE by JANICE MAY UDRY-I think the book entitled A Tree is Nice makes interesting reading. It's a level one book and can be used as an integrated tool for Social Studies. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI believe so as well . The author uses knowledge of trees to tell young children why trees are important to us. She says from climbing ,to pick apples to cats ruuning from dogs .Because this is an informational text it can be use.How do you find its literary quality
ReplyDeleteThis book is a little old fashioned in its illustrations. The illustrations alternate beteewn colorexample green red and yellow and black and white and are quite lovely. It also shows time and season.
