I am looking for a children’s book, possibly from the 80’s, with beautiful illustrations of trees. The trees are in competition to be king of the trees (?), with each tree arguing why it would be best. May have an orange tree and an olive tree. My adult son remembers liking this book and wants to find it now that he has a son.

“Adventures of the Wishing Chair” by Enid Blyton?
Try this one: King Tree / Fiona French (1973) Oxford University Press. In the gardens of Versailles, the courtiers act a play before Louis the Fourteenth, the Sun King. Dressed as proud trees they parade before their king boasting of their virtues. When the orange tree asks the ladies of the court to choose the king tree he is as much surprised by their choice as the other actors.
