review 1: Redwoods is a book about a boy who takes an unexpected trip to the California Redwoods after finding a broacher on the forest. Actual facts about the Redwoods are woven throughout the book and actually serve to help the character navigate through the forest. This creative book can be paired with books about forests and trees as well as books about the Redwood forest. It can also be used in an imaginative writing unit.
