Ends well, but overall politically correct and light.

Written to please the censors. I still read it to my kids and appreciated the writing, but overall the story was a little shallow and benign. Basically a tree speaks up for immigrants harassed by the locals.

We are reading this now as required reading for my rising 3rd grader. This book is not appropriate for younger readers. They vocabulary is very mature and i had to help my son with many of the words from a pronunciation and definition perspective, which was sometimes difficult to explain given his age. Words like 'dioecious', 'bedraggled' and 'crepusular' are not words I understand let a lone an 8 year old. The subject matter was a little beyond his 'worldliness' and I felt the message could have been conveyed a little more innocently to this young audience. I would say this book is much more appropriate for a 4-5th grade audience to 2-3rd.

I had high hopes for this book but kid thought story was boring. Maybe it’s over the kid’s head?

Good book, easy read.

This book is good. I don't love Applegate's writing style. The chapters are so short. I believe there are 52 chapters, some are not even a page long. I didn't love the reasons behind all the animal names. It felt distracting. I probably wouldn't read this book again.

Was expecting a read aloud picture book, but this is for an older child or adult

Didn't understand this was a book for older children/adults. I was looking for a picture read aloud book with a 5 year old. It is difficult in the description to know this, but I'll hold onto it for when she has longer attention span because it's so well recommended

This was read by the 5th grade students at HP schools. It encourages children to be kind and accepting of one another. It was sweet and slow-moving. SP

I liked the tree that talks.

I liked the dramatic parts, but I did not like when the tree was about to be cut down. It scared me.
