 Watch a thousand years unfold in the life of one
magnificent tree! A thousand years ago, a tiny acorn fell to the
ground. As the years pass, it grows . . . and GROWS into an
enormous oak tree! As the centuries sweep by, children play games
around the tree. Families dance about it. A fleeing king even hides
inside its hollow trunk! The tree gives food and shelter to a host
of animals, from squirrels and badgers to birds and beetles. After
a thousand years, the ancient tree finally falls in a storm - but a
new acorn sprouts, and the cycle of life begins all over again. The
tree's magical life story is brought to life in Julia Donaldson's
rich, dramatic rhyme. Victoria Sandøy's gorgeous, atmospheric
illustrations perfectly capture the changing seasons, and the
people and wildlife that pass by Children will love spotting all
the creatures in the pictures, and seeing the games children play
around the tree This is a book that encourages us all to look more
closely at nature, and to appreciate the wonder of our ancient
trees. The final pages of the book contain extra fascinating facts
about oak trees and the animals that depend on them. Praise for The
Christmas Pine, also by Julia Donaldson and Victoria Sandøy:
"Magical . . . as well as paying tribute to tradition, the gentle
rhythmic verse and stunning pictures illuminate the two other
things close to Julia's heart: the power of children and song"
