"Trees are very nice," says Janice May Udry in her firstbook for children. She goes on to explain that even one tree isnice, if it is the only one you happen to have.Some of the reasonswhy trees are so good to have around are funny. Some areindisputable facts. But in all of them there is a sense of poeticsimplicity and beauty which will be sure to entrance any youngchild. Whether he knows one tree or many, he will relish thedescriptions of the delights to be had in, with, or under atree.Marc Simont's joyous pictures, half of them in full color,accentuate the child-like charm of the words. And each painting ofa tree or trees shows just how very nice they can be.
