About

A Tree is Nice is a picture book, which can be used in many ways, including the classroom; but, most important to all, it is a delight to the small child. Despite its simplicity, it is thought-provoking and provides the child with new avenues down which his imagination can fun. A tree is nice for shade, beauty and usefulness, for climbing and playing; and it fills up the sky.
