Nut Tree by Julia Donaldson

Small, brown, hard, round, The nut is lying underground.

Now a shoot begins to show. Now the shoot begins to grow.

Tall, taller, tall as can be, The shoot is growing into a tree.

And branches grow, and stretch and spread With twigs and leaves above your head.

And on a windy autumn day The nut tree bends, the branches sway,

The leaves fly off and whirl around, And nuts go tumbling to the ground: Small, brown, hard, round.
