It's My Tree by Olivier Tallec
3.0
**ARC provided by Kids Can Press from NetGalley**
A squirrel is very devoted to his tree and the pinecones it produces. He first worries if other people might decide it is "their" tree, so he brainstorms ways he can keep others away. But in doing so, he then worries about what other trees might be out there, and if they might be better than HIS tree.
I think the lesson here is that one should be thankful for what one has, but I think the message falls short at the end, as the squirrel presumably goes off in search of other trees. The illustrations are great, which is why I gave this book 3 stars instead of 2.
