Drop your iPad and read this magical, interactive book, instead! The spreads are comprised of simple white backdrops and watercolors of a tree in different seasons, coupled with short, rhyming verse. But the real “magic” of this book comes…
suggestion from jbrary: give every child a die-cut tree, and every time the book mentions tapping, shaking, or blowing on it, they have their own tree to use.

Such a magical way to tell the tale of changing seasons to your little ones!! Precious. Kids are encouraged to interact with the book, shaking, swooshing, jiggling and so on!
Great interactive book. Children participate & see the seasons change with simple text and illustrations.

Great interactive book and a great introduction to the seasons! Kids touch and shake the book to help the magic tree go through spring, summer, fall and winter. The storytime kids loved it.

This is a wonderfully interactive book. Completely suitable for toddler thru preschool storytime. Additionally, a fun read for adults and children to read together one-on-one or any other ratio of adult to kiddo!

This is a wonderful interactive picture book, probably best to be read one-on-one, but I read it today for a storytime of 12 kids and they all came up to tap and shake the tree in the book. Very fun, and the kids felt like they had…
