The Family of Ree
By Scott E. Sutton
This brightly illustrated book, the first of the Family of Ree adventures by Scott E. Sutton, introduces readers to the colorful world of Ree. With green trees and blue oceans, Ree looks a little like Earth. However, the sight of the Giant Sea Beasties swimming by the light of one of Ree's two moons, reminds readers that they are a long way from home. Dundee, a white-bearded Wizard, mentors his assistant, Jeeter, a playful Erf.
| "He studies his Wizard lessons everyday, But he loves to surf and takes time to play. When we go on journeys, he's the first out the door. He's a curious Erf, and he loves to explore." |
Jeeter (along with young readers) learns a valuable lesson about protecting the environment and all the creatures in Sutton's whimsical world. From the Flipping Floating Flying Floojies to the Long-Legged Ploots with very long snoots, from the Bobbing Bungalla Bingallees to the Spotted Tree Gings, Jeeter understands the need to care for every member of the Family of Ree.
This book demonstrates the value:
Take care of your environment.

"Picture books that bring to life a wondrous fantasy world whose caretakers begin their life cycles as BeeBees or GorBees, mature into Erfs or Sea Erfs, gain wizardry powers and responsibilities as Rees or Sea Ree Queens, and then finally retire to become talking trees.the poetry adds a soothing lyrical rhythm that makes this book perfect for reading aloud.highly recommended." --The Midwest Review of Books
