K-Gr 3-Short and simple passages, peppered with relevant vocabulary (e.g., deciduous, coniferous), introduce young students to all things forest related. The format is fairly standard; large photos and cartoon illustrations ease students into the topic, while reader-directed questions allow them to reflect on the content as they read. The book is fairly long (for this age group), but it is divided into several sections, so there are obvious stopping places if time or attention spans are limited. A few of the flora and fauna featured may be unfamiliar to U.S. readers (the book was originally published in Holland); however, the majority of the information is applicable to those in most parts of North America.
VERDICT A solid selection for read-alouds or as a lap book for those interested in introducing forests to kindergartners.-Debbie Tanner, S D Spady Montessori Elementary, FL
