Ancient Ones: The World of the Old-Growth Douglas Fir

Good book for grandkids, keeps them off their Kindles!

the story is nice, the illustrations are nice. Not as colorful as I would like, but lots of wildlife shown, along with the story of the tree.

I just discovered this book and is a treasure!! For teachers in the classroom or to share with child who is interested in the natural world. Covers the entire ecosystem of the Pacific Coast forests, including the bugs. As a teacher I could use this book in grades 3-5 (maybe younger with help in reading) in a thematic unit for at least six weeks. Very rich in text, illustration and information. I highly recommend this book!

I highly recommend this book - my 5 year old brought it home from school and loves it. The illustrations are gorgeous and the text is well-done and a rhythmic read for parents - relaxing! The text is done in calligraphy that adds a beautiful touch.

A lovely book for children of all ages; 2-100. A gentle look at the life of a tree and its friends.
