Did you know that a forest is made up of many different floors, just like a tall building? And like a building, each floor houses different tenants.
In this new book by the author and artist of SEE THROUGH THE SEA, we go from the basement of the forest, under the leafy ground covering, to the roof, the topmost branches of the tallest trees. On our upwards journey we meet many different kinds of birds, animals, plants, and insects.
Each lives at the level which is best suited to its own particular needs for food, protection, and climate. If we move quietly, we may watch these creatures of the forest at work and play.
With delicate and simple prose, combined with scientific detail and accuracy, the author guides us through the forest, pointing out and explaining the many fascinating phenomena which can be observed. The beauty and clarity of the pictures further the reader's understanding of this forest world.
