Life in the Boreal Forest

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gennady Spirin. Presenting a year's cycle of life in a boreal forest, this book features Spirin's remarkably detailed paintings of plants and animals, from winter's hibernating bears to spring's pitcher plants. Guiberson uses onomatopoeia on almost every page, and the sounds (Scritch, scritch!) help bring the taiga to life. She also emphasizes the integrated ecology of the forest and the threats to it.
