Customer Reviews

A nature walk with a bit of mystery.

My kids enjoyed this book, which is a realistic depiction of the animals you might encounter near a pond. The twist is that the author describes the scene, and the reader has to guess which animal has been there. Sumptuous realistic gouache illustrations - the raccoon is especially impressive.

Intriguing

I have taught first grade fot 21 years, and my children ADORE the three "Who's Been Here" books that I own. When I read these stories the children are on their knees leaning forward trying to guess what is on the next page. I would recommend these books to anyone. I think the intrigue is heightened by the presentation. We pretend we are detectives who have to use the clues to solve the "Who's been here?" question.
