A spider is a never-tangling dangling spinner / knitting angles, trapping dinner.
A tree frog proposes, Marry me.
Please marry me.
/ Pick me now.
/ Make me your choice.
/ I'm one great frog / with one strong voice.
Van Derwater lets the denizens of the forest speak for themselves in twenty-six lighthearted, easy-to-read poems.
As she observes, Silence in Forest / never lasts long.
/ Melody / is everywhere / mixing in / with piney air.
/ Forest has a song.
The graceful, appealing watercolor illustrations perfectly suit these charming poems that invite young readers into the woodland world at every season.
