This adorable picture book illustrates the life of a tiny acorn growing up to be a tall oak tree. A wonderful introduction to nonfiction for curious, nature-loving kids!

The text communicates the basic science simply and with humor, and the illustrations up the fun factor! Parents will love the sweet story and charming illustrations, and teachers and librarians will love the extra resources at the back.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Expressive digital illustrations by Ciccotello portray the acorn and its brethren with facial features, while clearly depicted root systems and labeled diagrams give the art an educational heft that’s just right for new nonfiction readers.” —Publishers Weekly

A little nutty?
I purchased this book for my library and was sad to see one of the trees being described as "a little nutty" with crossed eyes. I do not think this is okay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great life history of an oak
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2021

This is the first book I've seen about oaks that actually showed the flowers and the growing acorns hanging on the tree. It includes an acorn being buried and forgotten by a squirrel with clear graphics of the acorn starting to grow underground. And the story also includes the changes in the young tree over 20 years until it is old enough to have acorns of its own. The graphics are nice and clear and fun. The acorn main character speaks in cartoon bubbles, anthropomorphized a bit but accurately in terms of the science. Makes learning about a tree interesting.
