"Moving gracefully through the seasons, newcomer VanDerwater shares
a girl's experience of what the forest has to offer."
--Publishers Weekly "The imagery is fresh and original; it's
accessible, too. Watercolor images of each poem's subject add to
the appeal."
--Kirkus "Dip into this appealing collection for an introduction to
early nature studies or poetry writing, or for generating some
well-deserved enthusiasm for a stroll in the great outdoors."
--Booklist "The verses are approachable for readers and vivid for
readaloud listeners, so this is a title with a broad spread of
possible use. Even if there's no nearby forest, just have the kids
close their eyes, listen to the poetry, and imagine that there
is."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The book is an
inviting tour for those who enjoy observing the natural world
through poetry."
--School Library Journal --
