Rhythmic and rhyming text introduce readers to the food chain within a deciduous forest. Christopher Silas Neal’s masterful illustrations brings you up close to the action. Highly recommend for any home or classroom library!

Curious readers can discover different animal nests and discover the eggs in them. This lift-flap-book is the perfect size for little hands that will love lifting and closing the flaps over and over again.
