The House (trees)
Do you know what a tree is? It's a big plant that grows really tall and has lots and lots of branches and leaves. Now imagine lots and lots of those trees all growing together in a big group. That's what's called a forest.
When you see a forest, you might notice that all the trees look different - some are big and wide, while others are tall and skinny. But did you know that each tree is like a house for lots of tiny creatures?!
The branches and leaves on a tree are like cozy little rooms where birds can build their nests and rest in the shade. Sometimes you might even see squirrels scampering along the branches, using them like little highways to get to their own homes.
But it's not just animals that live in trees - there are also all kinds of insects and bugs that call them home. If you look really closely, you might see a little spider hiding in a leaf or a caterpillar munching on the leaves.
And trees don't just provide shelter for animals - they also help make the air we breathe! As the trees take in sunlight and water through their leaves, they release oxygen into the air. That's why it's so important to keep our forests healthy and thriving - they're not just beautiful, they help take care of us too!
