Jack needs to find a quiet place where he can read his book in peace. Finding a perfect spot for his perch he settles down to read. All goes well until, one after another, a host of animals including a tiger, a bear and a snake come to join him. Jack has fun playing with them but he also wants the tree to be just for him. How Jack changes his view and learns that sharing is more fun than solitude is charmingly captured in both the rhyming text and the cheerful illustrations.
