In the Woods: Who's Been Here?

This is a must have book for any teacher, naturalist, or parent that doesn't want their child to grow up without an appreciation for and curiosity about nature!

My two sons enjoy predicting which animal is being described on every other page. Even though we've read it 5 times since we received it, the boys now enjoy anticipating which animal is next and they feel smart knowing all of the animals! There's a couple gory parts that show animals that have killed other animals, but I guess it shows the food chain realistically.

A delightful read for young children (and Grammies too!) who enjoy the outdoors and all the discoveries to made when taking a walk. The pictures are wonderful and the large print text is easy for beginning readers as well as for those who may have vision difficulties. My grandson and I have thoroughly enjoyed this adventure together!

Lindsay Barrett George creates beautiful illustrations for this wonderful nature book. It's a lovely book to sit and read together--she asks "who's been here?" There are hints--a crushed leaf or a pawprint. The next page reveals the answer. Carefuly rendered, these illustrations and the puzzles they pose will definitely draw in any child, and inspire more than a few family nature walks, as children enjoy looking for their own natural mysteries. I highly recommend any books by this author/illustrator.
