A squirrel buries an acorn. A dolphin pushes a coconut into an ocean current. A camel chewing a date spits out the seed. What do they all have in common? Each one, in its own way, has helped to plant a tree. In myriad ways and diverse environments, Mother Nature is given a hand in dispersing seeds that eventually grow into trees.

It is a great informational book in watercolors because it is attractive and it tells interesting facts and it is attractive. It is a clever story about seed dispersal. We meet a variety of animals who, by simply moving as they normally would, transport seeds that will grow into trees. There is interesting variety- squirrels bury acorns, an owl eats a mouse that recently ate a seed, ants take a pine nut into their underground home, and we even learn that animal poop contains seeds!

This book shows how animals inadvertently plant trees with vivid illustrations that make the book feel like a story even though it is informational.
This book is a decent example of an informational book because it focuses on giving information about how trees can be planted. However, it is very surface-level and does not go into much detail past how the tree is planted, such as how trees grow.
