The Oak Tree by Julia Donaldson

A thousand years ago a tiny acorn falls to the ground. As the years pass, it grows and GROWS into an enormous oak tree. As centuries pass, children play games around it, people dance under it, and even a king hides in its hollow trunk. It provides food and shelter to animals, birds and insects too. When a storm finally makes it fall, a new acorn sprouts and the cycle of life begins all over again.

This book is written by the most celebrated children's writer in Britain today and one of my favourite authors. The tree's magical life story is brought to life using rich, dramatic rhyme. The beautiful illustrations capture the changing seasons.

The final pages contain extra fascinating facts about oak trees and the animals that depend on them.
