A Year around the Great Oak

Join Anna and Benjamin through the seasons of a majestic oak tree and discover all of the wondrous animals and plants that live around it. In this new, expanded edition of Gerda Muller's beloved book, A Year Around the Great Oak, readers will treasure the compelling combination of engaging story and fact pages.

City dwellers, Anna and Benjamin, love to visit their cousin Robin in the country. With every visit, Robin takes them to the forest to see his favorite tree—a 300-year-old giant oak. 

Each time, Anna and Benjamin are amazed at the changes in the forest through the seasons. In the fall, they build a cozy den in the tree's roots to watch squirrels. In the winter, they learn to ski in the shelter of the forest. In the spring, they search for forest animals. But some creatures in the forest can be dangerous, and one night, the old oak tree helps Benjamin when he discovers something unexpected . . . 

This new and detailed edition includes accurate illustrations and fascinating fact pages, alongside this charming seasonal story. A wonderful companion to Gerda Muller's other classics, the beloved Seasons board books, A Year in Our New Garden and How Does My Garden Grow?
