“The colorful, softly shaded drawings are particularly graceful in their depiction of trees…teachers will like the information-laden text in picture-book format…. Many teachers will want this for their primary-grade tree units.” ―Booklist

“Gove does a fine job of weaving botanical facts into the light plot of an afternoon walk. The colored-pencil illustrations are pleasing and the pen-and-ink sketches in the glossary give more precise identification data…. [This book] will encourage children to notice and protect the trees around them.” ―School Library Journal

“What a wonderful way to incorporate learning into an everyday activity such as walking home from school. This book jumps off the pages and into real life, and is likely to help our future naturalists learn to recognize different tree species and identify the trees in their own backyards…. This is interactive learning at its best.” ―Library Talk
