Touched by the history tie-in
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
There's something about the way the story of this tree is tied in with world history that touches me. The pictures are highly appealing. Each two-page spread is almost it's own little story as it tells what is happening to the tree in that time period. So very young children (perhaps 4-6 year olds) can enjoy each little story individually, older children and even adults can connect these stories to the sweep of history. An unobtrusive but helpful timeline runs across the top of the two-page spreads and builds as the years go by. There is a dinosaur and a reference to 50 million years ago on the first page which young earth creationists should be aware of. The dino is not really part of this tree's story but a mention. The timeline that builds throughout the book starts with 325 BC. and ends in 1969 (yes, one tree's life!). This book (typically a read in one sitting) would supplement world history, a study of forests, and/or certainly a trip to the redwoods in California! But most of all, it's just a delightful pleasure to read.
