In some of the author's stories, the author uses the Learning Tree as a teacher. It subtly explains how the world works around them. The Learning Tree will gently show them why they must not do certain things and then strive to do others. The stories will both entertain their young imaginations and his brilliant illustrations will keep them interested. As his books and stories evolve, the Learning Tree will become a major focus in the series.
