shelter for many animals and bears fruit. The author uses colorful, simple, yet detailed watercolor illustrations
to convey her words. The charming pictures show the many aspects in the life of a tree down to the caterpillars that eat the leaves. It is good for pre-school children.
2. This charming picture book highlights the life of a garden, from planting seeds to harvesting. With the
narrator as guide, the reader is led through a variety of free verse and occasionally rhymed poems that fill in the
story of a garden and its inhabitants. The pictures, delightful watercolors in bright pastels, add to the whimsical
feel of the poems. Young readers will certainly enjoy this fun and fanciful text.
3. This is a story from 1956 which introduces a little boy who likes to go fishing with a tree limb, a worm, and
a pin. Although he never catches anything, on this particular day he finally does hook three big ones, but the little one gets away. The boy pulls them home in his wagon and his mother cooks them for supper. The swinging
rhythms of the text and the good humor evident in the illustrations remain fun for the youngest readers.
4. This useful, attractive, oversize volume uses its height well, employing a tree metaphor to show the earth"s
various kinds of life and how all living things, from bacteria to the largest mammals, are related. Each. spread
covers one branch of the animal kingdom. To make the enormity of species understandable, Strauss equates
individual species( e. g.,10,000 bacteria) with one leaf on the tree.
5.This is a story about how a grandfather teaches his eager granddaughter to catch speckled trout from the
stream in springtime. After a whole day on the lake, only Grandpa is lucky. The next morning the young
fisherman hurries to the dock alone, and soon she hooks the catch of a lifetime. Young readers will appreciate
this story that celebrates the special bond between the older and younger generation, while brilliant watercolor
illustrations capture the beauty of the natural world.

So you"re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents"money and all you
really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you"re going?
Relax. You"re making the right decision. First of all, you"ll discover what interests you by taking courses
in many subjects. For example, it"s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you"ve never painted any
pictures; once you"re in a drawing-room on campus, you"ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot
of fun-after you graduate, you"ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college
graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of
the way.
* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you"ll make is to choose the school that really
fits you best-not the once that is the most competitive (有竞争力的) or has the best-equipped rooms.
* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you"ll find hundreds of actual college application (申请)
and links to many more.
* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is once of the most important parts of the admission (录
取) course. It"s not the most important, though and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can
do better, find the right course for better scores.
* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that
financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning
the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you"ll learn that you can afford to attend any
college, no matter the cost.
