Description
Written, illustrated and hand-lettered by Margaret Atwood, 'Up In the Tree' was first published in 1978, and is the story of two children who make their home up in the branches of a tree, where they are free to do whatever they choose. But the children begin to wonder what they might be missing, down amongst the ground dwellers.

Critical Reviews

"...a whimsical story of two big-eyed kids who, indeed, live in a tree....for those who think Atwood can't do cute, think again." -- Calgary Herald

"...little people will...become enchanted by the sounds and cadence of the words in Up in The Tree." -- Globe and Mail

"A delightful addition for any school, library or personal collection! Highly recommended." -- Resource Links

"Spare and simple, this 30-year-old title offers a refreshing return to basics." -- Booklist

"The lyrical, rhyming text will delight even the youngest children, and early readers will be able to read the book independently. Highly recommended." -- Resource Links

"This could be a collectible - not just because it's Atwood. Because it still rocks....a gem of a book." -- Sheree Fitch, New Brunswick Telegraph
