Description
Whether kids live in the city or the country, they know that trees are an important part of the environment. Trees provide food and shelter for local wildlife. But how can children learn about the trees in their neighborhood? And how can they find out about the trees in other parts of Canada?
This book in the Kids Canadian Nature Series contains large pictures, hands-on activities and accessible information to help children learn about trees in Canada. Each page is packed with fascinating facts that will stimulate the interest of young nature enthusiasts.

Editorial Reviews
A book that will answer many questions children have about trees ... Accomplished with a clearly written narrative, the inclusion of interesting facts, color illustrations that feature children from diverse cultural backgrounds, and several inquiry-based investigations.
Science Books and Films
The series encourages children to become close observers of nature and also provides step-by-step experiments and activities to perform, such as heating a pine cone to release its seeds. Hickman has done a good job of finding interesting tidbits of information and making comparisons. The type is large, and the colorful drawings are attractive.
