Martin, David and illustrated by Manders, John Let’s have a Tree Party! 32 pgs. Candlewick 2012. $12.47. (Rating: G)
All of the creatures in the forest come out to party in a big tree. They eat and dance and play. Even after they think the party is over, the owls wake up and get it started again.
The illustrations are so adorable –but I just couldn’t get a rhythm going with the story. Parts of it flowed well for me, and then I would hit a snag, so I wouldn’t use it as a read-aloud. I still think that younger elementary students would enjoy this book, if nothing else because the pictures are so darn cute and action packed.
