Timothy and Mr. Tree

Little Timothy Michael moves from the big city to the country with his parents. In the backyard at the edge of the forest Timothy's father hangs a tire swing from a sturdy limb of a tree but Timothy is too small to move the swing without a push. Will he ever grow big enough to soar into the sky as the other children do? Before Timothy gives in to tears he hears a voice introducing himself as Mr. Tree. A talking tree! Mr. Tree introduces Timothy to Honey the brown bear Mrs. Darlin the deer her fawn Susan Darlin and another tree across the forest named Cousin Herman. Through these new friendships with other talking creatures Timothy learns what makes his forest friends happy and what keeps them healthy.
