The main strength of the books lies in their clear, colourful, accurate illustrations of the flora and fauna around and about the magic tree. However, the text is a jumble of fact and fantasy which could well confuse young readers and the stories themselves are weak. I certainly would not choose them as natural history books, nor as stories.
