The watercolour illustrations are mini works of art . . . Pure delight, we loved it! Highly recommended!

It would make an excellent gift for a child (or an incompletely educated adult like me) and is a must-have resource for all environmentally aware schools

An attractively illustrated introduction to this subject, combining instructions and ideas for getting to know trees better, in which watercolour illustrations capture the form and beauty of each variety. The trees are well chosen - even the most urban of children won't have to look far to find a tree that they can look up at.
