Reviews for The Secret Life of the Forest: Trees, Animals, and Fungi

"Selected for The Children’s Book Council’s July 2024 “Hot Off The Press” Reading List ""The Secret Life of the Forest: Trees, Animals, and Fungi is an especially engaging and educational introduction for children ages of 6 - 9 to exploring the intricate web of relationships that sustains a thriving forest. This introduction to ecology will spark curiosity and environmental awareness, presenting fascinating facts that turn learning into an enjoyable experience. The Secret Life of the Forest: Trees, Animals, and Fungi is especially designed for inquisitive young minds and nature enthusiasts alike as it nurtures a profound love for the natural world."" —Midwest Book Review-Children's Bookwatch ""This cute, informative nonfiction book is full of valuable information about forest ecosystems. The Secret Life of the Forest has nineteen sections of information that cover everything a young researcher could want to know about the forest ecosystem, from tree communication to symbiotic relationships with fungi to parasitic relationships. Even adult readers will learn something new in this fascinating book. The illustrations are colorful, fun, and very informative. Just paging through the book invites further exploration, like the page that shows a fungi plumber “re-establishing the connection” between two tree roots with a wrench and another tree paying for the service with sugar. This is a great book for early research about forest ecosystems."" —Laura Gardner, Dartmouth Middle School, Youth Services Book Review"
