Welcome to the Forest

From the Series Nature's Neighborhoods: All about Ecosystems

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3

In this book, readers will explore a forest habitat and discover how the wildlife and plants that call it home form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.

This title cleverly takes young readers on a mini safari through a forest making connections between the living things that call it home. For example: “High above the ground in an old oak tree, a woodpecker and a squirrel are raising their families. In autumn, acorns from the tree will become food for the squirrel family. And when a deer dies in the forest, its body becomes food for hungry raccoons and a host of different insects.
