Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A girl and a boy and their golden retriever explore the autumn woods. "As it graphically portrays the subtleties of nature's treasure house, this handsome book will likely hone youngsters' sensitivities to hidden signs of life," said PW. Ages 3-up.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2?Large, brilliant, lifelike illustrations are George's trademark. Here her gouache paintings provide the pleasure of a game while giving youngsters the enjoyment of a nature walk. Cammy and William explore the woods on an autumn afternoon and on successive pages notice such things as an empty nest, a gnawed branch, feathers, and bones. Each observation prompts the question, "Who's been here?" Turning the page reveals the answer in both a closeup double-page spread and descriptive text. The last object the youngsters find is a picnic basket?a surprise from their father. The forest scenes are vivid and unsoftened?some of the creatures who have "been there" became meals for others. The last page provides more information about the featured creatures and the flora and fauna surrounding them. This book invites repeated perusal. It's an ideal title for primary-grade nature study that could sharpen the perception of any child going on a woodland field trip. The large print and generous pages make it an excellent choice for group sharing.?Louise L. Sherman, Anna C. Scott School, Leonia, NJ

Gentle Invitation to Nature,
By
This review is from: In the Woods: Who's Been Here? (Mulberry books) (Paperback)
Lindsay Barrett George creates beautiful illustrations for this wonderful nature book. It's a lovely book to sit and read together--she asks "who's been here?" There are hints--a crushed leaf or a pawprint. The next page reveals the answer. Carefuly rendered, these illustrations and the puzzles they pose will definitely draw in any child, and inspire more than a few family nature walks, as children enjoy looking for their own natural mysteries. I highly recommend any books by this author/illustrator.

In the Woods: Who's Been Here?,
This review is from: In the Woods: Who's Been Here? (Mulberry books) (Paperback)
A delightful read for young children (and Grammies too!) who enjoy the outdoors and all the discoveries to made when taking a walk. The pictures are wonderful and the large print text is easy for beginning readers as well as for those who may have vision difficulties. My grandson and I have thoroughly enjoyed this adventure together!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very pretty,

This review is from: In the Woods: Who's Been Here? (Mulberry books) (Paperback)
A sweet and simple story in a beautiful book for kids who are observant. Map at the front of the book shows the route the children walk, all the way to the suprise at the end.We liked Lindsay Barrett George's "Box Turtle at Long Pond" book, and this book showcases her signature style of lillustrating the natural world. I live in the Arizona desert. Any chance for a book about a high pine forest, Mrs. George? I'll keep my fingers crossed).
