Overview
Spring in the Forest is the third in a series of seasonal picture books for pre-K and early elementary children. It's about the natural world, in particular the deciduous forest of the American Northeast. This book depicts the sparkling newness of spring and the young life of both plants and animals. The three primary themes are young animals, emerging plants, and growing light. The language of these books is lyrical, the images are engaging and sometimes humorous but always realistic - think field guides for 3- to 8-year-olds. There is an amphibian identification page in back for young readers who explore wetlands. Children will learn the names and habits of forest animals and plants so that they can recognize them in natural settings. These books engage children's innate curiosity and connection to the living world so that they can learn complex principals in simple, age- appropriate language.

Reviews
""These books are perfect for families of young children who want to explore the changing seasons. The watercolor illustrations capture the beauty of the Eastern Deciduous Forest and its inhabitants. Families walking along our trails will be able to make observations and have conversations relating the books to the world around them."" Emma Ellsworth, Mount Grace Land Trust ""If you love wildlife and the enchanting beauty of nature and hope your children will too, then bring this beautiful book home and share the wonders of wild nature with your little ones. Copeland's charming and welcoming prose is beautifully paired with her nature-inspired watercolors. Reading Spring in the Forest with the children in your life is more than enjoying a beautiful book together, it is about nurturing a connection to wild places and wildlife."" Jon Leibowitz, Northeast Wilderness Trust ""This book is spectacular. The books in the series are enchanting. The illustrations are completely engaging and young-child friendly. We have a 11⁄2 year old grandchild and she would enjoy the pictures. And verse is just right as well."" David Sobel, Professor Emeritus, Education Department, Antioch University New England
