A Tree Is Nice is a classic tale about the beauty of the everyday world. "Simont's watercolors perfectly complement the poetic simplicity of the text, allowing the reader room to engage in his or her own imaginative embroiderings about trees" (Children's Books and Their Creators).
Trees are beautiful. They fill up the sky. If you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk, roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of its limbs. Cows and babies can nap in the shade of a tree. Birds can make nests in the branches. A tree is good to have around. A tree is nice.
樹木很美,遮蔽了天空。如果你有一棵樹,可以爬爬樹幹、在枝葉間打滾流連,或在樹枝間盪來盪去。母牛與小牛可以在樹蔭底下打盹。鳥兒可以在枝條間築巢。四周有樹木是很棒的一件事。樹木很美好。
