Fighting for the Forest

32 pp. | Holt | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-5466-9 $$15.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Ted Rand. When the ancient forest where they hike is marked for logging, a boy and his father try in vain to save it. Though the story is didactic, the lush watercolor and pencil illustrations foster an appreciation for forest wildlife, imbuing the trees themselves with character, and effectively demonstrating the impact of clear-cutting. An appended "Trail Guide" encourages readers to observe and explore forests.
