An old oak tree describes the wildlife that lives and feeds in and around it. Using rhyming couplets as descriptors, children will learn that a spider weaves a web between branches, squirrels use the branches as a sidewalk and children swing from the tree. By looking closely at the illustrations, children may also observe grubs, new leaf buds and a tiny ladybug.--Ministry of Education website.
