DISCOVER MY WORLD: FOREST
by Ron Hirschi & illustrated by Barbara Bash
Ten woodland species that share one habitat are introduced in a simple text couched as a series of questions, accompanied by watercolor illustrations that strike a nice balance between representation accurate enough for identification and a touch of sentimentality for popular appeal (e.g., the rabbit and the fawn). Identifications (not always specific: which tree/woodpecker/butterfly?) are given at the end, where a bit more information is also included. An attractive corollary to the many pet and farm animal books. A companion volume presents creatures of the ocean. (Nonfiction/Picture book. 3-8)
