finding all the ways trees help us every day. How many ways can

Rosie and Peter are thinking about all the important things
that trees do. Many things can be made from trees. They

Outside, they see an ice cream cart. It’s time for a yummy
treat. And guess what! Their ice cream sticks are made from
wood from trees too.
Oh look, there’s Kiara. And she’s carrying a baseball bat.
That’s made of wood too!
And what about that car passing by? Can you see anything made
from trees?
That’s right! The canoe and the paddle on the car roof are made
of wood from trees.
Here’s Mr. Johnson. He’s hanging laundry on the line with
wooden clothespins.
And the apple trees in his yard make food.

you find where you live?
