Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Woodland and Forest Animals
Sonya Newland · 2013
68/100
👎 Skip It
A solid, curriculum-friendly 32-page nonfiction title that does what it promises — maps, diagrams, a quiz, and actionable conservation tips for third and fourth graders. The brevity that makes it classroom-friendly also keeps it from going deep on any individual species or ecosystem. Fine for a school library shelf, but not a standout in a crowded nonfiction field.
