What is a tree and how does it actually grow? How does a tree change over the course of the seasons and what phases does it go through during its entire life? What happens in its crown, trunk or roots if we look closely? Which animals live there and which forests have developed in the different regions of the world? THE LITTLE BOOK OF TREES takes children into the world of these fascinating plants. A small arborology presents different types of trees. 

And last but not least, the book shows what great things you can do with trees. You can climb trees, build a treehouse in their crown, or lie in their shade and relax. As well as familiar objects that have their origin from trees, like instruments, paper planes and books. In the tree quiz on the last double page, children can apply their newly acquired knowledge.
