Hiking in the woods and reading a book when you get to your final destination is always a sense of peace and relief. Now leaving it for someone else to read is not what I ever thought about doing.

I was not too much of a fan when we were allowed to read this in class. It's focused on information but very cool illustrations.

This story was interesting, but a bit boring. It would be great to pair with a lesson on biomes in 4th grade or a lesson on measurement in 5th grade.

Again, a great one for perspective. Reminded me of Jabari Jumps illustrations. It would be fun to read with students because of how big the trees are, and could make for a great science activity too. (
