Philip Bunting

Using puns and humorous illustrations, Bunting describes how trees grow, communicate with one another, and help the environment overall. What I really appreciate is that Bunting then extrapolates lessons from trees to humans, reminding us all to embrace diversity, explore new ideas but nurture the ones that benefit us most, be hardy but flexible in trying times, and more. Therefore, there's many things to learn from this book from the scientific to the moral. I could see it making a great addition to a classroom curriculum or home library, especially for natural studies around Earth Day, conservation, environmentalism, or plant life cycles and for character education around acceptance, kindness, or perseverance.… (meer)

Learning about animals we've heard about is a whole ton of fun!
This book is a hilarious collection of zoological lessons that are illustrated in brilliant colors and closely resemble the real deal. We laughed our sox off while reading it!
The illustrations by the author are delightful, imaginative, striking, and brilliantly colorful.
This book is well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
