1957 Caldecott
Udry, Janice May.  A Tree is Nice.  Illustrated by Marc Simont.  New York: Harper, 1956. 

Take a moment to enjoy one of life’s most fantastic gifts—the tree.  Lie on the forest floor under a canopy of green, relax in the shade, and play in the leaves.  Climb the tree, pick the apples, then swing from a branch. The expressive pictures in this book share the artist’s appreciation of  that quietest of all friends—the tree.  (AB)
