Stories from the Forest

This week, I am sharing picture books featuring a forest setting . . .

Animals in the Outhouse by Anja Frohlich
A new forest ranger, eager to prove himself, installs an outhouse for animals so that the forest will be tidier but although the animals enter, one after another, and claim success, none can figure out a way to actually make use of the unnatural device.

Tidy by Emily Gravett
Pete the badger likes everything to be neat and tidy at all times, but what starts as the collecting of one fallen leaf escalates quickly and ends with the complete destruction of the forest. 

This Is Moose by Richard T. Morris
Director Billy Waddler is trying to film a documentary about moose, but the moose in question has no intention of spending his life in the woods and his animal friends, who have dreams of their own, help him prove his point.

Flashlight by Liz Boyd
In this story without words, a boy explores the woods after dark with a flashlight.

Where's My Teddy? by Jez Alborough
When a small boy named Eddie goes searching for his lost teddy in the dark woods, he comes across a gigantic bear with a similar problem.
