Summer nights, hide and seek, and tree house meetings. Reading The Berenstain Bears and The Spooky Old Tree reminded me of childhood activities I use to partake in. This book describes an adventure that three young bears take visiting a spooky old tree. While in this tree they come in contact with multiple mysterious creatures. These three bears travel a twisty trail and find things that give them goosebumps.
I really enjoyed The Spooky Old Tree because of the plot and the illustrations. This picture book included magnificent illustrations with amazing details. The illustrations included small details such as a small mouse hiding in the floor boards, bats hanging from the ceiling and alligators swimming in the pond.
I also like this book because the authors used repetition and questions to engage the reader. In addition, this picture book sends a message to children to try and overcome their fears and take an adventure. By going in the old spooky tree, these three bears had the opportunity to see many interesting animals and artifacts. I would recommend this picture book for children in first grade and up. I would take note though that some pictures in this book could scare younger children.
