A classy mid-century art style board book that can get my toddlers to happily sit and point to the objects they know for, at times, 10 minutes straight! Deserves every single one of those five stars.

Learn to count from 1-10 while learning about the names of various trees. The pictures are cute, vibrant and engaging for little people. I saw some trees that I wasn’t very familiar with as well.

I’ve enjoyed Paprocki’s illustrations in other board books and no exception here. The trees are drawn accurately enough for it to be somewhat educational (especially with the brief factoids about each type in the back matter) but with a fun retro vibe. Great seeing the diversity in the people enjoying the outdoors. While tots can enjoy the illustrations, the hidden picture element, along with the back matter, adds to the value for slightly older kids beyond the typical board book audience.

There are many opportunities to learn here: counting numbers, identifying visual differences in trees, then learning facts and revisiting pictures to find hidden images. I thought this was a pleasant read and started to think about when I may have seen trees like these and where in the world they live.

This artwork was so beautiful! And this was a lovely book - so many, many things to look at on every page; it was a great search and find book. Plenty of things to explore on the page, we could name so many different fun things for our toddler to try to find. Loved at the back the little snippet to learn about 10 different kinds of trees, and a list of things to go back and search for.

I love Paprocki’s board books. Not only is the art beautiful, but the content is always compelling and captures the attention of toddlers and preschoolers. Trees is an engaging and interesting book about various kinds of trees that are found all over the United States. I love that a board book has back matter.

This is a board about counting different kinds of trees. The illustrations are busy, and the types of trees featured are beyond the preschool audience, let alone the board book audience. It might work better in picture book format, but it's not a stunner.

Some of the "fun facts" at the end need revisions.

LOVED the facts at the end!

Almost perfect. It even has back matter! I just wish that the child traveled the world in a sensible manner and that there was a map, from mangrove to dogwood to ponderosa pine....

Illustrations are very nice, but content is just OK. I don’t think a toddler is going to get much out of this.

22 month old and I loved this one. Toddler really perked up with the seek and find at the end and I definitely learned things about some trees! Love the art.

A cute 123 counting book with adorable illustrations of trees! Pleasantly surprised due to esthetic and learning new trees myself. The kiddos however weren’t impressed 😂

Busy art, cool trees, and counting. *Chef's kiss*

[Evalynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The tree illustrations in this children's primer are so cool! I first opened the book to the page with the dogwood trees and decided it was a keeper.

Young audiences will enjoy finding 10 unique tree species to count on each colorful, full-page spread of this cheerful board book. Illustrations team with action and details which invite curiosity and potential conversation with a caregiver. Budding scientists will appreciate fun facts about each featured tree species provided at the back of the book. Reviewer 2
