Summary: The prologue of this wordless book shows a seed flying through the air, landing on the earth, and sprouting to eventually become a full-grown tree. In Act One, the tree watches as a wolf chases a pack of rabbits. Turning itself into a monster, the tree scares away the wolf and offers refuge to one of the rabbits. Bunny asks Tree for help finding the rest of its pack, and the two set off on a wondrous journey. After Bunny digs up Tree and puts it in a little red wagon, Tree is able to transform into a train, a boat, and a plane to carry them into the mountains where they at last find the rest of the rabbits. The tree is transplanted and enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the bunnies, offering them food and shelter in exchange for fertilizer and friendship. 184 pages; ages 7 and up.
Pros: This incredible wordless story unfolds over the course of nine acts and an epilogue, celebrating a wondrous friendship as well as the magic of the changing seasons.
Cons: I didn’t completely understand the beginning of the story until I read some of the book reviews.
