A Tree is a Plant

I personally loved this story because of the illustrations that go along with the simple words. The words explain exactly what happens when an apple tree grows. The pictures can give young readers a vivid image of what actually occurs. It is fun for readers and very informational. This book brings a positive experience to all readers.The author also uses some similes and metaphors throughout the story. For example, while describing the roots, "Some of them are as small as hairs". This is a great model for students to see but also allows them to imagine how small a root can really be.

This book is an informational story on how an apple tree grows. This is a great story for young readers because it goes through a step by step process of show more how a apple tree grows from a small apple seed. The story has great illustrations to go with the words. This story could be read in a variety of classroom settings (science class, reading class, writing class, etc). show less

Clyde Robert Bulla's wonderfully illustrated book shows children many types of trees but mainly focuses on the apple tree. The story follows the life of an apple tree from seed to producing apples, along with how the roots, leaves and other parts of the tree work together to grow. Included are experiments for the children to try.

This is a really neat book. The book uses an example of an apple tree to teach children the life story of a tree. It starts with the seed, and explains how the seed is naturally planted and how it germinates. The book then goes on to teach children about the tree’s roots, leaves, and about the tree in all the different seasons. At the end of the book, a lesson plan is provided to teach students or children about what happens to water after it reaches the leaves of a tree.

We used this today, on Arbor Day and it was very nice to read while we passed around The Golden Nature Guide to Trees and DK Eyewitness Tree. Beautiful illustrations.

In this book, the students will learn how a tree grows and how it gets food and water. Also, they will find out what happens to water after it travels through a tree’s roots, branches, and leaves, and how to figure out a tree’s age. This book digs deep into the tree for the students to learn all the inside parts of a tree. The pictures are great also because they related to real life people. Also, this book introduces basic science concepts to young children and helps satisfy their curiosity about how the world works.

This book explains the parts of a tree. The tree starts as a seed that you can plant or that can fall on to the ground and grow. As it starts the tree is small but it grows to be the biggest plant.

A nicely illustrated and written about how a tree grows and get its nutrients.
