This book generated a lot of discussion on the types of trees we have in our area of New England.  We read several other books which  focused on  the types of trees in our immediate area and how we could identify their leaves and seeds.

We have large maple trees and oaks around our school.   We also have evergreen trees.
As a homework assignment,  I asked the students to bring in samples of deciduous leaves (only maple, oak or sassafras).  I also asked them to find seeds to the maple and oak.

The class also discussed the evergreen trees. We decided to include some samples of evergreens in our book.  Our class took a nature walk around the school and discussed these two categories of trees.

They also wrote individual poems which can be viewed by visiting our web site.
