A Book review "Tree"

Today, July 15th, I read a book “Tree”. This book is written by Lisa Jane Gillespie, and designed by Helen Edmonds. The book is composed 18 contents. 18 are A leafy would, Standing tall, Growing strong, Food factories, Types of trees, Changing seasons, Fancy flowers, Tasty treats, Hanging on, Tree houses, Tough trees, Crawling with life, Trees in trouble, Protecting trees, Glossary, Websites to visit, and Index. The reason why I read the book, I like nature very much. I want to know trees because I think that I and nature have to live together. Recently, the environment is being destroyed by pollution. The pollution is produced by our life. First, I talk about A leafy world. I am impressed the tree’s picture. The picture is very beautiful and wonderful. There are many different types of trees. As you can know, nature have many kind of trees. The next is Standing tall. Trees are tall, woody plants that can live for hundreds of years. A spruce tree in Sweden is the oldest tree in the world. It is almost 10000 years old. I understood that the mechanism of trees. It was very interesting for me. The strong trunk supports the branches. Water travels from the roots through the trunk to the branches. The third topic is Growing strong. The first shoot and roots begin to grow from the seed. The roots soak up water. The shoot grows up to the surface. It becomes a seedling with leaves and buds. Heat from the Sun and water from the soil help the seedling grow into a sapling. My favorite picture of this book is the tall fir tree. The picture is very nice and wonderful. The fourth topic is Food factories. Sunlight shines on the leaf. Air goes into tiny holes on the leaf’s underside. The next topic is Types of trees. There are thousands of different kinds of trees. There are three main tree groups. Broadleaf trees, Evergreen trees and Palm trees. Palm trees are in the sea. I like the best is Palm trees of three trees because I love sea. I will go to sea with my friends in this summer. After that, Changing seasons. Some broadleaf trees look very different at different times of year. Evergreen trees are never bare. They lose their leaves and grow new ones all year long. And then, I talk about Fancy flowers. Inside a flower there is a sticky powder called pollen, and a sweet juice called nectar. Insects drink the nectar and pollen sticks to their bodies. The one after the next, Hanging on. Lots of different plants and mushrooms grow on trees. Velvet foot mushrooms grow in groups on tree trunks. The tenth topic is Tree houses. Bald eagles build huge nests in very tall trees. The nest is called an eyrir. Raccoons sleep in holes in trees to stay warm during the cold winter. Koalas sleep for most of the day in eucalyptus trees. They eat the leaves, too. I think that koala is very cute. Next topic is Tough trees. Jand tree grow in deserts in India. Their long roots reach water far under the ground. African baobab trees have huge trunk that can store water for the dry, summer months. Boojum trees grow in dry parts of America. Their wood holds lots of water like a sponge. The twelfth topic is Crawling with life. This sphinx moth has patterns on its body that match the bark of the tree and help it hide from danger. The next is Trees in trouble. Trees are chopped down so the wood can be used for fuel and to make paper. Forests are cleaned so land can be used for farming and to build towns or roads. The final topic is Protecting trees. There are lots of ways to save trees for the future. I am very interesting to protect trees. I think that we have to live together nation. Trees are very important to give rise to the shiny green of the forests. I’m very sad nothing trees, because humans don’t live in our life. I want to protect the environment in the future.694words
