{"product_id":"the-tree-of-life-40484","title":"The Tree of Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single tree can be home to hundreds of different species. This joyous book highlights some of the best tree habitats in the world, with plenty of fun things for young readers to spot in each stunning illustration by Kendra Binney. After spying a creature hidden in the foliage they can lift a flap to learn more about it.  The book includes famous trees like coast redwoods and ancient oaks, as well as some species kids might be less familiar with-like the dragon blood tree of Yemen! They will meet swinging orangutans in the dipterocarp trees of Asia, witness elephants drinking from wells inside the baobab trees of Africa, and spy some sleepy koalas in the eucalyptus trees of Australia. The Tree of Life also looks at the importance of these giants on human societies, such as the Hindu festivals that take place among the roots of the Indian banyan.  By the end of the book kids will have a new-found appreciation for the role trees play in ecosystems all over the world.  This resource has been approved as a resource for the teacher to read aloud in part or whole. The lift the flap feature lends itself to not being as sustainable for use by students, but it is appropriate for students to read. This resource aligns with outcomes in Health Education around relationships to land and living things, and with outcomes in Science 2. It would make a lovely cross curricular resource within ELA integrated learning to explore Health Education and Science concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43665547952188,"sku":null,"price":18.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/20649713482787.jpg?v=1763071271","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/the-tree-of-life-40484","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
