Tree-ring circus / by Rex, Adam.(CARDINAL)345966;

In this cumulative tale, a tree becomes a hiding place for various animals, a runaway circus clown, and even an elephant. In a quiet little lea, several miles out of town, a tree grows. It becomes home to sparrows, chipmunks, a whopping big bee . . . a runaway clown? Two poodles? An ape? Wait a minute. In his quirky but realistic style, Rex creates the greatest show on earth--or at least, in a tree. The surprising text is part word game, part counting game, and part mystery. The illustrations are pure, beautiful mayhem, loaded with boisterous energy and cunning little critters that readers will love to chase through the pages.

Tree story : the history of the world written in rings / by Trouet, Valerie,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."This book tells engaging stories about the science of dendrochronology, the study of tree growth rings. From studying tree rings, scientists can learn about the past climate on earth, and sometimes tree-ring data provide evidence of natural events that affected human history. Connecting natural history (as read through tree rings) to human history is at the heart of this book"--Trees in the Desert -- I Count the Rings Down in Africa -- Adonis, Methusaleh, and Prometheus -- And the Tree Was Happy -- The Messiah, the Plague, and Shipwrecks under the City -- The Hockey Stick Poster Child -- Wind of Change -- Winter Is Coming -- Three Tree-Ring Scientists Walk into a Bar -- Ghosts, Orphans, and Extraterrestrials -- Disintegration, or The Fall of Rome -- It's the End of the World as We Know It -- Once upon a Time in the West -- Will the Wind Ever Remember? -- After the Gold Rush -- The Forest for the Trees -- Playlist -- List of Tree Species.
