By Mark Alden Johnson
Climbing a tree sounded like a great idea, but it turns out that getting down is much harder than climbing up! Perched on a branch high up in a tree, a young boy must decide whether to find a way to the ground by himself or wait for his dad. All kinds of animals, from bees to birds to cats, offer him advice on how to get down (Jump! Fly! Climb!), but it’s up to him to figure out if their advice is worth taking.
Told in a lyrical rhyming style and charmingly illustrated by the author, I’m Up in a Tree is a book for kids and their parents to enjoy together.
MARK ALDEN JOHNSON has been a writer at heart since a very young age. Even as a kid, he would invent imaginative stories and proudly present them to his parents ? and anyone else he could find. Johnson started writing children’s stories just for his kids and their friends when they were young, but after he published his first book, Little Fish Lou (Outskirts Press), he knew writing was a passion he wanted to pursue. A native of northern Nevada, Johnson attended West Nevada College, where he took a wide variety of courses. Currently, he works for a local utility company in Dayton, Nev., where he lives with his wife and three kids.
I’m always on the lookout for good books for my children to read. I have to keep an eye out for books that can keep Lil Man’s interest as he tends to get bored very easily.
I’m Up in a Tree is a great story about the adventure of a boy who climbed a tree. He went alone and climbed too high, so high that he was afraid to get down. He decided to wait for his dad.
This book gave us all kind of a laugh, because just last year, Lil Man broke his arm when he fell out of a tree. Now if only he would have had the same thought, then things may have been different!
What I especially like about I’m Up in a Tree, is that Lil Man can read it himself and he gets a kick out of the little rhymes.
