"The Secret Life of the Forest: Trees, Animals, and Fungi is a highly educational and fun read. Packed with so much information, there is plenty to read about! Broken down into 19 sections, readers will learn about the life cycle of a tree, different pollinators, levels of the forest, and so much more! Through-out the book, there are little "experiments" kids can partake in, and I encourage adults to as well. A lot of them are eye opening! I love the illustrations. They highly detailed and absolutely beautiful." —Cherokee Crum, YA Books Central
