♥ See what iTunes Reviewers are saying ♥,

"This is a fantastic app. It's informative, imaginative and keeps the kids amused with both the information about trees and also the drawing section....." (UK iTunes Store)

"This app is brilliant, since downloading it I have spent ages on the drawing page posting my trees to my facebook page! I'm also looking forward to the build your own tree house page in the update. Brilliant value for money too." (UK iTunes Store)

Sit back and enjoy the tale, as well as learning about just how amazing trees are.

“James Pendlebury says that diggers are best, but he always says stupid things that are wrong. Just last Tuesday, he said that Jenny Lemmon said that squirrels are a type of cat.
They are not.”
