Outstanding in every way!
The illustrations are remarkable. The illustrator created them from watercolor, and cutting, pasting, sculpting and then gluing them. Had I not known that, I'd have assumed real leaves and some other real forest material was used. The pictures are so realistic, I could literally imagine the odor of the mulch and other forest life. Wonderful depictions of plants and animals too.
I have this on my non-fiction and nature shelves, even though the account is just an example of what might occur in the circle of life of a tree; that part is actually fiction.
One terrific thing about this book is that children of many ages with enjoy it, and younger children will learn many new words because the vocabulary is definitely advanced. But, I definitely wouldn't limit reading this to children who will already be familiar with all the words.
It's a perfect book for seeing the circle of life of a tree and log and tree and… and of all the insects, other animals, and plants that grow and thrive at all stages of its life and death and life again.
It's a gorgeous book and it's very informative. It educates in a manner that most should find very interesting.
Much thanks to Goodreads' friend Gundula for alerting me to this stellar book!
4 ½ stars
