{"product_id":"the-nut-that-fell-from-the-tree-9781525301193","title":"The Nut That Fell from the Tree","description":"A playful, lively story about one acorn's difficult path to becoming a tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the house where Jill plays.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the oak that holds the house where Jill plays.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the nut that fell from the oak that holds the house where Jill plays ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the style of ?The House That Jack Built, ? here's a cumulative, rhyming tale that follows an acorn on an arduous journey, as one animal after another steals it, drops it or tosses it, sending the acorn inside an old shoe, high above the trees and down to the bottom of a stream. But in the end, the rat, goose, bear and more turn out to simply be the conduits that help the acorn eventually land on a hillside, where the warm sun helps it grow into another grand oak tree, which now holds the house where Jack (Jill's grandson) plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this lively story, Sangeeta Bhadra offers a playful depiction of the circle of life. The jaunty rhythm of the text (?This is the raccoon, a sneak through and through \/ that tricked the goose with a bird's-eye view . . .?) and the use of fun-to-say words --- like, ?hullabaloooo? and ?pee-ew? --- make for a picture book that begs to be read aloud. France Cormier's richly colored illustrations add energy and continuity to the story, as the perspective zooms in and out and dotted lines follow the acorn's path. This book could easily spark discussions about plant life cycles, animal habitats and food chains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids Can Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525301193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Sangeeta Bhadra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36656601989276,"sku":"9781525301193","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e7633f77-20a0-48c5-991b-29c7f89bfac8.jpg?v=1603888520","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-nut-that-fell-from-the-tree-9781525301193","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
