- f***r (1415)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat children's book, because it shows how so many creatures benefit from this great tropical tree. Wish the book mentioned that kapok trees grow in many tropical areas including the US Virgin Islands where it's sometimes called the silk cotton tree. Thank you!

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
