Editorial Reviews
Review
"A book with a lot of local appeal teaches children that there is more to an old-growth forest than trees. Packaged in child-sized information bites and laced with puzzles and games, Ancient Forests introduces children to the forest ecosystem. As children explore forest neighborhoods, they learn about ecological relationships, threatened and endangered species, and the struggle to reduce human impact on ancient forests. The text is enhanced by the detailed illustrations of Portland-area artist Sharon Torvik. -- Corvallis Gazette-Times Nov. 11, 1994
This 'discovering nature' title activity book is recommended not for library lending, but for parents who will appreciate the workbook approach to presenting facts and folklore on old-growth forests. Sixteen activities appear in black and white: some color inside would have increased appeal, but this packs in fine ecology facts nonetheless. -- Midwest Book Review
