This little book was written in response to the demand for a school reader about Nature which would tell, not merely sentimental anecdotes about the bunny, the violet and the rose, but a continuous story of the life history of some living thing. The author chose the Oak Tree as her subject simply because its story serves as a complete illustration of that underlying fact of Nature, the interdependence of all things-the inseparable link¬ age of animate and inanimate, of atom, molecule, and substance, of soil, plant, animal, and man.
