Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Reviewed with Barbara Brenner's One Small Place in a Tree.

Gr. 2-4. These companion books offer a glimpse of nature in action by zeroing in on "one small place" teeming with living things. By the Sea takes an up-close look at a tide pool, briefly describing the timing of the tides and how the changes affect tide pool inhabitants, while giving a more in-depth explanation of the complex interdependence of the plants and animals in their unique environment. In One Small Place, a bear uses a tree as a scratching post, thus beginning the chain of events that leads to a large hole that becomes home to a variety of forest animals. Brenner makes the science enjoyable and understandable, and Leonard's highly detailed, realistic illustrations provide great visual aid. These attractive volumes will nicely complement a science unit on ecology. Lauren Peterson

This was such a cute book and made our nature hikes more fun! Kiddos would point out little or big holes in the tree and we would try and figure out what lived there or made it...great book!

This book goes through all the stages of how a tree hole might form and progress and how the tree will eventually die. Though all of that, the hole in the tree is home to many different creatures even after the tree falls over.
