This book was actually pretty good, I thought, I had to read it for a Children's Book Project for my 8th grade English class. I randomly picked it from a stack, and thought it was nice. It has beautiful imagery and tone, and amazing artistry with the help of Wendell Minor. As you know, this book is at a 2nd-4th grade level, so I didn't really think any of it, just a blatant book for kids, but its actually a poem in a sort of a way, deeply detailed and carefully written.
Gorgeous!

Each double page spread includes a beautiful Wendell Minor paintings. The book is really a poem that is told to you as if the mountains are speaking to you about the aspects of its life. In this book, nature has a voice.
