Celebritrees: Historic & Famous Tress of the World is a informational text for elementary aged students. This book would be most appropriate for 3rd graders and above. I personally thought the book was a tad boring, especially for children in elementary school. I think the text was too long and included some vocabulary that children would not understand. Although I found the book to be informative, I think the book would be more appealing if the text was bigger and not as detailed. Lastly, I thought the illustrations were helpful and matched well with the text. The big idea of the story is to inform students on different trees that were/are used for celebrations. These trees range from 4,000 years old to anywhere around the world. ( )

This informational book pairs fun and interesting illustrations with facts about famous trees. Each page is dedicated to a famous tree and information on why it is special. At the back of the book is specific information on species of trees. This book is appropriate for intermediate readers. ( )
