Grand Old Oak and the Birthday Ball

Who doesn't love a big book packed with tiny, hand-drawn details? You can play visual detective with your young readers through dozens of tours of the Grand Old Oak, and best of all (with those dozens of tours in mind), this story of the planning and celebration of a birthday bash for a very old tree comes with sprightly, readable rhymes and a philosophical sense of time, as it follows the seasonal cycles of a single year while inviting the awe toward a living being that has seen five hundred of those years. (Ages 0 to 5)
