"Trout Are Made Of Trees" May 29, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is a lovely combination of brief informative text and colorful illustrations. The author uses simple declarative sentences to describe the natural process of decomposition of a leaf that falls into the river, is broken down by bacteria, and its passage from one form of life to the next until it ends up nourishing a trout. The provocative opening line reads, "Trout are made of trees." The first mixed-media collage illustration shows two children as they gaze at a trout swimming in a river that is framed by a beautiful landscape of trees, bushes and leaves. A double spread shows the children collecting and examining leaves, one holds a magnifying glass, the other a container with a sample of algae. The author thoughtfully includes in an addendum a description of the life cycle of a trout, some suggestions for readers on how to help protect a stream habitat, and a list of resources, both books and web sites.
