Catherine Bidet.
Mother Forest narrates a reader-directed walk through the forest: "Look, there's a squirrel! Let's follow it to page 5. Or would you rather discover...insects? Then go to page 9." Numbered tabs shaped like natural objects help guide readers as Mother Forest offers random facts about flora and fauna. Striking color-blocked illustrations on heavy stock use a limited palette for this inviting if gimmicky ramble.
