			        		PreS-Gr 2&#x2014;The small seed grows into a sycamore tree in this poetic natural history lesson. &quot;As days turn to weeks,/the seedling has grown:/it&apos;s a dragonfly perch!/A ladybird throne!&quot; The spare lines of poetry and simple-colored sketches framed on facing pages follow the tree&apos;s growth through the seasons as it spreads beneath the ground and into the air. &quot;It&apos;s not just a tree/but a wonderful world,/full of beetles and grubs/and squirrels and birds.&quot; Except for that dragonfly and two ladybirds in an early view, the smaller creatures don&apos;t appear, but there are assorted birds and a few squirrels up above and rabbits and even two foxes beneath the grown tree. The tree&apos;s life cycle is pretty well captured, though two terms will be unfamiliar to picture book listeners/viewers/ &quot;With each passing year/the trunk builds up its rings&quot; offers a teaching moment. The reference to &quot;&#x2026;their leaf-laden,/bark-bound arboreal home&quot; is heavier going than the rest of the poem. Imported from England (hence the grubs and ladybirds), this offering concludes with a single page printed with the poem that folds out with a double-page view of the seeds and realistic leaves through the seasons. These are labeled with added facts about the sycamore tree. &quot;A single tree can produce as many as 10,000 seeds a year.&quot; VERDICT A pleasant bit of early STEM material, perfect for prompting discussion and explanation.&#x2014;Margaret Bush, Simmons College, Boston

			        		&#x201C;Spare, rhyming text and detailed artwork inform readers about the life cycle of a sycamore tree, from seed to maturity&#x2014;and its role in the ecosystem&#x2026;While giving a general idea of how one journey from seed to tree influences an entire ecosystem, the text also emphasizes the wonder of growth&#x2014;and life&#x2014;itself. The tone is soothing and reverential. No hype here: understated enchantment.&#x201D; &#x2013; Kirkus ReviewsA 2018 Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students: K-12 (National Science Teachers Association and the Children&apos;s Book Council) - NSTA-CBC
