A beautifully illustrated collection of 5 minute bedtime stories
about the wildlife found in woods around the world. Every forest
contains a thousand secrets… In this charming anthology of
stories by Alicia Klepeis readers will be guided into forests to
meet the amazing animals that live there. In one story a squirrel
hunts for an elusive acorn it buried earlier in the year, while
another looks at an Alaskan wood frog as it freezes itself alive to
survive a harsh winter. Children will be thrilled by the tale of a
reindeer that gets separated from its herd in the snowy woods of
Scandinavia, and marvel at a chameleon changing colour in the
forests of Madagascar. Other stories feature elephants, wild cats,
pangolins, badgers, foxes, monarch butterflies, otters, walking
fish, a tree that can live for thousands of years, and even
forest-dwelling penguins! All of these creatures and their habitats
are brought to life with impressive skill by illustrator Kristen
Adam. Each story is based on the real biology and behaviour of
these amazing wild animals, and at the end of each tale readers
will find out more about the science that inspired the story. So as
they drift off to sleep, they will know a little bit more about the
world around them.
