In the Forest

Description

Did you know that fir cones grow pointing up while spruce cones grow pointing down, some kinds of mosses and ferns grow in trees, and bamboo trees can reach a height of sixty feet in forty-five days? The forest habitat is a complex ecosystem full of amazing plants, magnificent mushrooms, colorful berries, flowers, and more. Draw the roots of a tree, place blackberries on a bush, stick bells on the lily of the valley, and test your new knowledge with a short quiz at the end.

Editorial Reviews

The New York Times Book Review

These are the rare activity books that can hold their own on the quirky, information-packed writing and exquisite artwork (reminiscent of midcentury American illustrator Charley Harper). Once the kids have absorbed a few facts, they'll be ready to go crazy with the irresistible glossy stickers (100 or so in each book) and their attendant sticker projects.
