Trees Shown to the Children by Janet Harvey Kelman, 1908

The "Shown to the Children" series was a popular narrative-style nature study collection written for children in the early 1900's. 

The book "Trees Shown to the Children" is the sixth volume in this British series. Share with your children the trees that are most likely to be found growing around your home. Answer their questions like, "How do the trees grow?", "What do trees eat?", "How do the roots work?", "Why are trees important to our environment?", and "What is that tree over there called?". 

This book is a beautiful complement to any homeschool tree study units or as a picnic blanket companion. This is without a doubt one of our top 5 tree books in our homeschool.
