Description
Every forest holds a thousand secrets waiting to be discovered as author Alicia Klepeis guides young readers into the heart of the woods, introducing them to the remarkable animals that call these habitats home. From a determined squirrel searching for its hidden acorn to an Alaskan wood frog that freezes itself alive to survive the harsh winter, each tale is a delightful blend of storytelling and science.
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!
Each story in Secrets of the Forest is based on the real biology and behavior 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.
