Using Thoreau's own words, Schnur judiciously adapts Walden for a younger audience. Thoreau describes how he builds a one-room cabin in the woods near Walden Pond and closely observes the seasons changing around him; on the final spread he marvels, "We can never have enough of Nature." Impressionistic paintings handsomely capture the surroundings that inspired Thoreau.
