Educational and interactive literature.

When I heard a librarian read this book to a group of fourth graders, I believed this librarian threw a great opportunity to use this book as an educational facility for these students and others to come. I am a teacher, and once I heard this book, my heart lit up with joy. This book does not stop when it is read to the students. We can proceed by teaching them about our country's history, environmental issues, social issues, and trees in general. We can help students understand the importance of trees to every day life (oxygen) and putting trees into good use such as paper, pencils, even gum. I will truly use this book to its fullest allowing students to appreciate not only the issues in this book but also providing them with the beauty of literature. This book will deliver the joy of reading.
