A Walk in the Forest: (ages 3-6, Hiking and Nature Walk Children's Picture Book Encouraging Exploration, Curiosity, and Independent Play) by Maria Dek
3.0
Illustrations are Carson Ellis-lite. And I mean lite, not like.
The snapshot view of the feelings & happenings that occur in the forest is only partly effective for me, esp bc I think the last line undermines the book a lot: "You'll go there [the forest] tomorrow, when you're older." So the child protag wasn't just in the forest for the entire book? Maybe verb tenses were a bit lost in translation, since this was first published in French? Something was missing for me.
