You can learn a lot about forest animals by simply looking and listening. I'm hoping lots of kids this summer had a chance to actually take a woodland walk, looking for animal clues, discovering animal tracks and listening to many different sounds in a forest.
Reading my latest picture book "Over in the Forest" can't take the place of the real thing, but it is a fun way to learn about the forest and its animals, either before or after you take that walk! The book has already received some wonderful awards:
•2012 Izaak Walton League of America Book of the Year Award (Elementary Level)
•2012 Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award (Picture/Storybooks)
•2012 Mom’s Choice Gold Award (Children’s Picture Book Category)
•2012 Purple Dragon Book Award – 1st Place (Children’s Picture Book – Ages 5-)
•2012 IBPPG Next Generation Indie Book Award – Finalist (Children’s Picture Book Category
Hope you'll check it out at your library, on Amazon.com or your local book store. You can also see it at the Dawn Publications website.
HAPPY READING!
