Description: 'Close to my house, there's a beautiful, huge, spreading tree. I see it every day. We walk past it on the way to school, and hear the wind rustling through it at night. How long has that tree been standing there? If the tree wasn't there any more, I would miss it all the time. But it's not just me - so many animals depend on it too ... ' 'I love this tree' is a book which looks at the life of an old living deciduous tree and through it explores the amazing life of a tree and the creatures that inhabit it.
