Gr 4–6—This short, lively introduction to the subject focuses on 11 trees from all over the world. In brief chapters, Galat explains where each tree is found and its place in the ecosystem and provide some interesting facts (for instance, baobab trees become hollow with age, so their age can't be determined by counting their rings). The text is full of useful information and eye-catching images, including full-page illustrations and height comparisons. The book also contains a chapter on saving trees. This title is truly worldwide in its coverage; only one tree, the Red Maple, is a native of North America. Appended glossary and index are extensive and complete. A solid overview.—
