The Pine Cone's Secret




Curiosity and coziness shine in this soothing picture book about the pine tree life cycle.

Did you know a pine tree starts as a cone, turns into a gift, and can become a blanket?

In this rhyming life cycle picture book, a pine cone becomes something new with each turn of the page, from a tower to a feast, from a magic trick to a Christmas tree. Extensive back matter on fun facts about pine trees and where to find them, along with a pine cone craft, are included. A perfect book for both home and school libraries. An excellent gift for the holidays or any time of year!
