My children are grown but this award winning book has a special place in my memory. I read it over and over to both my girls, never tiring of the insight into the imagination of the boy with the new horn. I am searching for a new copy to give as a gift but it seems to be out of print.

loved it

My 3.8 year old loves to hear this...over and over...a very sweet story...beautiful black and white illustrations

Ets At Her Best

For the very youngest connoisseurs of fiction, Marie Hall Ets is truly a gift. Her themes are simple, often focusing on a child's perception of a single event or element in his or her life. Yet she explores that one theme to its fullest potential.In this work, In the Forest, Ets is at her very best. We're led into the mind of a young boy celebrating his birthday. Through uncomplicated style and prose, the reader/listener experiences the fanciful imagination of the boy as he wanders through the forest. The drama builds gradually, adding animal characters who act as foils as well as companions to our hero, until the moment when his father appears to take him home. The magic is dispelled, and the animals retreat back into the forest of the child's imagination.For very young children, who are just beginning to grasp the essential elements of plot and the connection of elements in a story line, this is an ideal introduction to fiction. But it's not only an investment with educational value. You'll be entertained by it again and again
