In the Woods is a fascinating, action-packed introduction to the exciting world of forest natural history.

Here are lots of great year-round ideas and fun-filled activities for kids who love the outdoors.
Mark a trail, make a bug trapper, weave a windcatcher with sticks and yarn, learn about the animals that make those nighttime noises. Find animal homes, search for toads or snakes, and play detective with a tree stump. You can learn new and surprising things about the natural world, about chipmunks and salamanders, woodpeckers and centipedes. And you'll discover how you can play your part in caring for the natural environment.

Reviews

"In The Woods would be a useful book to have in your classroom or library, especially when learning about nature, prior to going on an environmental field trip. This exciting book should also be an essential item to take along to the summer cottage, or on vacation, as it will provide many ideas and activities to entertain and teach children, and adults about the outdoors. They will be able to take some important facts away with them, after reading this book."
