Timothy and Mr. Tree - Hardcover

by Gloria J. McCarthy (Author)

Little Timothy Michael moves from the big city to the country with his parents. In the backyard, at the edge of the forest, Timothy's father hangs a tire swing from a sturdy limb of a tree, but Timothy is too small to move the swing without a push. Will he ever grow big enough to soar into the sky as the other children do? Before Timothy gives in to tears, he hears a voice introducing himself as Mr. Tree. A talking tree! Mr. Tree introduces Timothy to Honey, the brown bear, Mrs. Darlin the deer, her fawn Susan Darlin, and another tree across the forest named Cousin Herman. Through these new friendships with other talking creatures, Timothy learns what makes his forest friends happy and what keeps them healthy.
