Wonderfully imaginative.......2007-05-06
I just can't say enough about this book! My six year old and I have read every book in the series and especially love the later books (the Merlin Missions). They are vivid with imagaery and are full of information that we both enjoy.
I really like Jack and Annie's quest........2006-06-08
I gave it five stars because I think I should give the magic carpet two stars.
Smarty Pants.......2006-01-18
Season of the Sandstorms is about Jack and Annie going on one of Merlin's Missions.This time they go to the golden age of Baghdad and are suppose to help the Caliph sread wisdom to the world.Your going to have to read the rest yourself.You'll also learn who the Caliph is!This was the best book I ever read!
Goo's review.......2006-01-18
Season of the Sandstorms is a good book. They go to a desert and find people which help them on their journey to help save Camelot,but you need to read the rest of the book to find about their journey. I hope you injoy this book.
Too Basic.......2005-11-28
im a second grader and i dont like it cause its too basic and is to short for 10 bucks. If u like the series go check out at library but do not buy it.

Customer Reviews:
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.......2007-01-19
This book takes us through the four seasons of an apple tree, with the great pictures that are always found in Gail Gibbons' books. It's a nice introduction to the seasons for my pre-school grandson.
Great book.......2006-12-12
This is a wonderful book. It goes through the seasons of the year with the apple tree. There are large illustrations on each page, along with a sentence or two of text. This book is great for those wishing to learn about seasons of the year and also about phases of an apple tree (from buds to blossoms to apples to bare branches and back to buds again). Although I wish that the text had some rhyme or cadence to it, its still a very good book that my daughter asks to have read to her again and again.
Can be used to teach about trees and their seasonal changes........2006-10-12
This book covers the basics of what a tree goes through every season. Arnold and his dog take you through each season and explain what type of activities they do with the tree. Winter they build a fort around the tree for company, summer they build a treehouse, fall they rake and pick apples and in spring they hang out in the tree and smell the apple blowwoms and build a tree swing. Arnold treats the tree as his friend through-out the book. On a few of the pages, there is a recipe for apple pie, directions and explanations of what a cider press is and does and facts about honeybees. My overall impression of the book is that it is an okay book with okay pictures. If it wasn't partially educational, it wouldn't have been rated with 3 stars.
Useful and sweet, although, perhaps, a bit bland.......2006-09-22
I found this to be a very useful book for introducing the concept of seasons to my 5 yr old son. It's beautifully illustrated and the story is quite sweet, although I'm not sure how frequently he will ask to hear it again. It's not likely to end up on his list of favorites.
Great for Teaching the Seasons.......2006-03-20
I recently purchased this book for my kindergartener to do a book project. He needed a book about the seasons, and this one fit perfectly. It simply illustrates and tells what happens to Arnold's apple tree around the year as each season passes.

Book Description
A tree stands on a hill by a river. As the sky changes, so does the tree, its branches filling with clouds, stars, snow, birds, mists, and the golden spring sun. One tree can mean many things.
Thomas Locker's lyrical text records the changes in the tree's world just as simply as a child might observe them, and his magnificent paintings crystallize the natural phenomena that embellish the tree on each page. Questions at the bottom of each page lead to a unique discussion in the back of the book, where art and science are intertwined, and further depth is added to the wonder of Sky Tree.
Customer Reviews:
Sky Tree.......2006-02-23
I am creating curricula that integrates the visual arts and science. This book has it all.
What a gorgeous book to look at!
Science Through Art.......2004-11-06
Sky Tree shows how a tree growing on a hill by a river changes through all four seasons. Locker's oil paintings are beautiful and accurate. The text records the changes the tree experiences in simple language. There are questions at the bottom of each page where text appears that provoke discussion. At the end of the book, Locker gives a scientific explanation of each of the paintings: the summer tree, the change tree, the autumn tree, etc. This is a great book to use for teaching about the world of nature.
Teaching Science Through Art.......2003-10-14
The artist Thomas Locker studies a tree through a year. The paintings are beautiful. Realism never looked so good in a children's book before.
One to look at over and over again........2002-05-20
I read this book with my 3 year old. The questions were over his head, but he still loved it. By simply discussing the pictures he learned about seasons, weather, the life cycle of a tree, and how painting techniques contribute to the mood of a piece of art.
Sky Tree is a beautiful book.......2002-05-19
I absolutely love Thomas Locker's art and share his love of trees. Each page of this book presents the same tree in a different light or season. Candance Christiansen's scientific and teaching background add good information to Locker's books. However, for me, it's still Locker's beautiful oil paintings that are the primary draw.
His painting of the tree with a night sky transports me to Georgia O'Keeffe's tree at night or Van Gogh's Starry Night. I'd have been just as thrilled with it at 3 as I am at 53.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Ornament Making Source!.......2006-01-25
COtM is a fabulous source of inspiration when it comes to making ornaments. The photos show each project in its final stage, a few have diagrams to show folding technique, and for those projects using a pattern, one is provided (although you'll have to enlarge at times). The projects are great for beginner and intermediate crafters as the directions mostly involve glue, ribbon, beads, glitter and paint. There are a few advanced projects but those mostly deal with oven and/or air dry clay. These are great rainy-day projects the whole family can enjoy because the instructions tell you all the items you will need and most are only 4 step processes. Finally, for those who feel their place is in a hardware store rather than a craft store, there are even projects for you! Various non-traditional elements are used to make some of the lovely ornaments too. Well worth a purchase.

A Lesson About What's Important!.......2007-04-01
This is a great book for putting things in perspective. The main character has a tree in her yard which produces money. She becomes the most popular person in town. Everyone comes to her house to gather it's leaves. By winter she is becoming tired of her greedy neighbors. She cuts the tree down and uses it for something purposeful: to keep warm.
Whimsical delight.......2001-05-08
The enchanting tale of Miss McGillicuddy and the unusual tree that grew in her yard. It has a such a strange shape,and grew so fast. One day she realizes that the leaves are dollar bills, how strange! Miss McGillicuddy seems strangely unaffected by the money in the tree, she goes about her normal life. She is relieved that strangers come to pick the dollars off the branches, saving them from breaking from under the weight of the bills. As the seasons change, people are still trying to find money from the tree, which bemused the woman. As winter comes, she has the tree chopped down for firewood. Miss McGillicuddy is jusy as happy and content as she was before the magical tree grew. This book will spark any child's imagination. A wonderful story by Sarah Stewart, matched with delightful illustrations by David Small.

My Painted House, My Friendly Chicken, and Me
ASIN: 0915811472 |
Book Description
Grandfather Four Winds and Rising Moon is a tale in the Native American tradition, a story of the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural environment and of the wisdom of a grandfather being passed on to his young grandson.
A drought has come to the land that is home to Grandfather Four Winds and his grandson. Rising Moon is troubled by what he sees and tells his wise and loving grandfather of his concerns. "Rising Moon, because your are old enough to fret and worry you are old enough to pray." Grandfather then tells Rising Moon an enchanting story from a time long past with a surprising and inspiring conclusion.
Grandfather Four Winds and Rising Moon is a gentle reminder of the power of courage, gratitude, generosity, and faith--values found at the heart of all of the world's great traditions.
The book is illustrated by Sally J. Smith, whose evocative art makes graphic the belief of many native cultures that spirit exists in all of nature's forms."
Customer Reviews:
LOVED this book.......2002-11-03
This is a really great book for anyone wanting a Native American story. Grandfather Four Winds is blind, and is talking with Rising Moon, his grandson. They talk about life, faith, courage, hope and wisdom, all rolled into a story about Apple Tree and Pine Tree. I loved it so much, I had tears in my eyes. Wonderful and respectful. Must have for Native American History month.

Written by an expert naturalist, WOODSWALK offers guided tours for all four seasons and all regions of North America, highlighting special creatures, conditions, and events every step of the way. Aspiring young naturalists will learn how to see beyond their own noses, "read" the woods for signs of the presence of animals, interpret sounds, and identify odors. They will also be instructed what NOT to touch or taste in the wold. With enough identification information on trees, terrain, plants, and wildlife for a hundred walks in the woods, this book is the complete first primer for the inquisitive young naturalist. Includes a cut-off, pocket-sized leaf and tree spy guide.

Book Description
Observing a maple tree over time, children get a clear picture of what trees do and how seasons change. In summer, the tree is shown sunbathing and brimming with animal life. With autumn comes the flowing sap that makes maple syrup for pancakes. As winter approaches, the tree's leaves begin to fall, and it becomes nearly dormant. The beautiful photographs and simple text introduce young readers to the wonders of each season and encourage them to look closer at the natural world around them.
