Book Descriptions
for In the Woods by Lindsay Barrett George
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
While walking through the woods on an early autumn afternoon, Cammy and her older brother see many signs of animals who have preceded them, including a red squirrel, a blue jay and a family of foxes. Double-page spreads show the clues and ask the question "Who's been here?" while alternating pages give a visual and verbal reply. The same device is used with Cammy and William's winter walk in In the Snow: Who's Been Here? also published this year. (Ages 3-6)
