Children's Literature - Beverley Fahey
All over the world Mother Nature is assisted in her work by unsuspecting animals. Seeds are dispersed and sown in variety of way by a myriad of animals. An apple seed stuck on a bear's fur falls off and an apple tree takes root. Dolphins toss a coconut onto the shore and a palm tree is planted. Cherry seeds are flung from a horse's tail, monkeys toss figs that sometimes fall to the ground, a camel spits out date seeds, and deep in the rainforest a pacu poops out seeds from floating fruit. The cause and effect may be oversimplified here but there is value in this basic science lesson. Full page watercolors capture each animal and its' habitat and the animals are given due respect whether they are portrayed as playful or industrious. This will make a fine addition to the primary grade classroom science collection. Reviewer: Beverley Fahey

PreS-Gr 2—"I wonder who will plant a tree?" begins this glowingly illustrated meditation on the interconnectedness of Earth's creatures. Each spread features an animal in a different habitat that, by simply going about its everyday activities, unknowingly plants a tree. A squirrel buries an acorn, a dolphin playfully pushes a coconut onto an island beach, ants march a pine nut into their tunnel, and an owl eats a mouse that had dined on an elm tree seed, then coughs up a pellet that puts that seed back into the ground. The range of habitats and animals shown is impressive, from monkeys throwing figs in the jungle to Amazon River fish excreting seeds from their fruit dinners. Pallotta makes a point of including humans, too, as a teacher and her class plant trees on a field trip. With simple, rhythmic language and engaging illustrations, this book encourages readers to see how the actions of each creature impact the Earth. An excellent accompaniment to science lessons.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD
