Review by Booklist Review

Part of the Rookie Read-About Science: Life Cycles series, this conveys the remarkable process by which an acorn becomes a mighty oak tree, with crisp photographs and consistent labeling that always points out elements on the page being discussed in the brief text. Captions help explain things that might seem obvious to adults but less so to children for instance, a picture showing the buds on a tree in spring is paired with These buds have new leaves inside. Herrington goes through the entire life cycle, describing how the oak tree fits into the larger food chain, showing a squirrel eating an acorn, and mentioning that the squirrel becomes food for coyotes and other animals. Concluding with a visual glossary, this very clean and clear volume makes some earlier books on the topic look a bit dated.--Dove Lempke, Susan Copyright 2014 Booklist
