There, it gathers into larger droplets, preparing for the forty-metre plunge to the earth below.
Covered in an immensely dense layer of wet moss, this tree trunk is fifteen metres in diameter. The trunk towers steeply upward, void of any branches for the full forty metres, before strong, thick bra -

Boo's Shoes is my last rabbit and fox book and it is a companion to Cleo Can Tie A Bow! Make sure to put it on your bookshelf so that you'll have it handy when you know someone who wants to learn to tie their shoelaces or any other kind of bow.
