The reader follows a chestnut tree through the changes of four seasons. Three of the six transparent pages reveal the inside and outside of a chestnut husk, above and below the ground of the tree, and before and after the tree bud opens. Then examples of five distinct deciduous tree shapes are illustrated, followed by five distinct deciduous tree leaf shapes and their corresponding seeds. Finally, five evergreen tree examples are pictured with five different evergreen tree cones.

This book has heavy board pages with sturdy metal comb binding.
