Reviewed by Keith Mbuya for Readers' Favorite

Deep in the middle of a lush green forest, full of tall trees, was a beautiful old oak tree, the biggest of all the trees in the forest. The Great Oak was home to many animals in the forest. A dirt road went through the forest to the Great Oak, and a young girl knew the way by heart. The girl and her mother often took long walks through the forest to visit the Great Oak, which the girl had grown to love. The girl and her mother shared many stories under the tree. One day, the girl asked her mother how the Great Oak tree grew so big. The girl’s mother tells her an interesting story about the tree. Open Rhonda Accardo’s The Acorn and the Oak to find out what the mother says.

Rhonda Accardo’s The Acorn and the Oak will appeal to young readers who love picture books and adventure stories. Rhonda whisked me away from reality and dropped me right in the middle of a world of beauty and imagination. I cannot describe how beautiful Jessica Waterstradt's colorful images are; just breathtaking. They had me feeling like I was in the forest, experiencing its raw beauty and atmosphere. Rhonda’s simple yet educative choice of vocabulary will teach kids a lot about trees, forests, and the life in them. This is the type of book that will instantly spark a child’s love for trees and nature. There is no better way to help future generations value nature than to make them fall in love with it while young.

I cannot say enough about this book. It’s beautifully illustrated, the pages feel like butter. It’s interactive, it takes you on a journey. Its meaning makes me cry every time I read it. It’s beautifully written. You can feel the love from the author and illustrator… (mother & daughter) by the way. I have given this book as gifts to all my grandchildren. I’ve recommended to my sisters & friends! Get this ~ not just one though. You will def need more than one. Also get the magnifying glass that comes w it. My kids love that extra adventure it takes you on.
