The Old Tree

by Ruth Brown

While Pigeon is delivering the morning post to all the residents of the old tree, she asks each in turn what the white cross on the tree trunk means.

No one knows, except Captain Crow, who has a good view of what's going on in the wood from his crow's nest.

The animals are horrified to learn that the tree is due to be cut down. But Pigeon has an idea that might just save their tree, providing that they all work together…

This is a lovely story with amusing characters, beautifully illustrated, with a fabulous surprise pop-up at the end.
