Once There Was a Tree
"Once there was a tree. It had grown for many years and now it was growing old." But even an old tree stump can be useful to a beetle, ants, bear, titmouse, frog, earwig and a man. Soon a new tree grows. To whom does the tree belong? ". . . to all, because it grows from the earth that is home for all." Exquisite paintings and an elegant design make this unusually beautiful book memorable. ©1985 Cooperative Children's Book Center
