In the Woods: Who's Been Here?

by Lindsay Barrett George

Book Overview

"An excellent introduction to classroom nature units and the perfect prelude to a walk in the woods." (Booklist)

Cammy and William don't see any wildlife as they walk through the woods, yet there are signs everywhere that animals have been around. Help these young nature lovers find the clues--an empty nest, a fallen branch with the bark gnawed off, bleached bones by a cave, and more--and join in guessing "Who's been here?"

Customer Reviews

Must Have

This is a must have book for any teacher, naturalist, or parent that doesn't want their child to grow up without an appreciation for and curiosity about nature!

Great Book for Kids who Love Hiking in the Woods

My two sons enjoy predicting which animal is being described on every other page. Even though we've read it 5 times since we received it, the boys now enjoy anticipating which animal is next and they feel smart knowing all of the animals! There's a couple gory parts that show animals that have killed other animals, but I guess it shows the food chain realistically.

In the Woods: Who's Been Here?

A delightful read for young children (and Grammies too!) who enjoy the outdoors and all the discoveries to made when taking a walk. The pictures are wonderful and the large print text is easy for beginning readers as well as for those who may have vision difficulties. My grandson and I have thoroughly enjoyed this adventure together!

Gentle Invitation to Nature

Lindsay Barrett George creates beautiful illustrations for this wonderful nature book. It's a lovely book to sit and read together--she asks "who's been here?" There are hints--a crushed leaf or a pawprint. The next page reveals the answer. Carefuly rendered, these illustrations and the puzzles they pose will definitely draw in any child, and inspire more than a few family nature walks, as children enjoy looking for their own natural mysteries. I highly recommend any books by this author/illustrator.
