Big one? Small one? Skinny one? Tall one? Which tree will be perfect for climbing? Not the tree with one owl nesting. Not the tree with two possums dangling. Not the tree with three worms crawling. Uh-oh! Oh, no! Will there ever be a tree that’s just right? Filled with colorful animals to count and name, this bouncing story will have even the youngest listeners chiming in.

In simple rhyme, Nancy Van Laan tells the joyous story of a child looking for a tree to call his own. He climbs five trees and discovers them occupied by everything from one owl nesting to five spiders spinning, until at last he finds the tree that's perfect for him . . . right in his own backyard! Told from a child's perspective, this engaging book has many levels: it's a counting book, a book of concepts, and a point-and-say book, and it also shows every child's desire to explore the big, wide world and know that the comfort of home is close at hand. Bold, graphic illustrations add to the fun, making this a great choice for young audiences.
