    If I Could Climb Trees Nuggies 5If I Could Climb Trees

    Written by Jeff Minich

    Illustrated by Renan Garcia

    A little dog dreams of all the things she would see and the creatures she might meet–if only she could climb trees. On one blue-sky day, she imagines she’s climbed to the top of a tall tree. Once there, she discovers what life is like for the other creatures in the tree and then comes to find that they also dream their own little dreams. Together they picture a world where bugs have shoes for their little feet; birds have paws to bury treats; and yes, even four-legged Nuggies can climb trees! Moving between day and night, If I Could Climb Trees is a whimsical bedtime story that encourages children to explore their imaginations, dream bigger dreams, and see the world through the eyes of others.

      Entering for my first grandchild Atticus Michael. He is 10 months old. He loves to look at books while you read to him. I love to read to both my daughters when they were children. Atticus mom and Dad are continuing the tradition of reading.

      I would read books in my tree. I could see everyone looking for me and not looking in tree to find me.

      I would read a book and visit the birds if I could climb trees.

      I would climb the highest tree in the mountains that I could find and just look at all I could see!
