By Redd Byrd, Illustrated by Jean Claude
Cottage Door Press, 2020
Activity Board Book, 12 Pages, Ages 3-6
This interactive book is a beginner book for preschoolers and toddlers. It’s filled with animals, nature, the forest, and more!
This book includes seek-and-find combined with counting skills, picture recognition, and nature learning such as different leaves, flowers, insects and more. Find 11 acorns! Tall animals! Small animals!
“Learning about nature helps children grow into people who care about nature.”
Each scene is quite unique, especially the underground spread with all the animals burrowed into their dens to snooze, hedgehogs, porcupines, moles, etc. The water scene is bright and colorful with a river running round the page, and all the aquatic fish, amphibians, mammals, birds and plants as well.
The artist did a delightful job and the book is well constructed, the cover has raised text and animals, and the text in the front is to help parents use the book to educate their kids!
Will your kids enjoy this book? Absolutely! I did, with animals, nature, the forest, and bright wonderful illustrations how can you miss? The only thing I’d like to see is a few more pages, hence the lack of half a star!
In The Forest by Redd Byrd receives 4.5 stars from this reviewer.
