Nonfiction Fascinates a Toddler

I took this book out of the library, not sure that the series of detailed realistic pages depicting a cherry tree through the seasons would interest my toddler (2 3/4 yrs old). It seemed a bit dry and "scholarly" with no "story". But he who usually flips ahead impatiently was fascinated, noting how the birds in the nest evolved, pointing out tiny details in the background, poring over the changes in the tree, from little pre-spring buds to falling brown leaves. The same tree branch is shown throughout, and it, as well as the background scenery, undergoes seasonal changes in minute detail. The animals shown are realistic and appropriate and there is so much to look at on every page. Informative, excellent art, solid chunky pages. A five star book that brought me to the internet to look up others in the same series.
