Product Description

Product Description

The children of the forest live deep in the roots of an old pine tree. They collect wild mushrooms and blueberries and shelter under toadstools when it rains. They play with the squirrels and frogs, and when autumn comes, they collect and prepare food to see them through the long winter, until the warm spring breeze starts to blow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful - a family classic, 4 April 2008
This is a wonderful, gentle tale perfect for the preschool child. As the children play with their borthers and sisters in the woods, they see their landscape change around them as the seasons come full circle. The paintings are charming with gorgeous wondland scenes and happy children playing. They all have roles within their family and respect and help their parents. The emphasis of family and nature in this story helps make this book special. There is a strong moral grounding without it being overstated. Nice antidote to the negatives within our modern society.

There are 2 tiny bits in the story that might need to be adapted for younger/really sensitive children - a viper being killed and dragged away by the children becomes an exhausted naughty snake for my 4 yr old and the boys crying after being bitten with ants receives a couple of tweaks! However, the lovely pictures and gentle tale still make this a worthwhile addition to any young child's bookshelf.
