Amy Ludwig VanDerwater
A spider is a â€œnever-tangling dangling spinner / knitting angles, trapping dinner.â€ A tree frog proposes, â€œMarry me. Please marry meâ€¦ / Pick me now. / Make me your choice. / Iâ€™m one great frog / with one strong voice.â€ VanDerwater lets the denizens of the forest speak for themselves in twenty-six lighthearted, easy-to-read poems. As she observes, â€œSilence in Forest / never lasts long. / Melody / is everywhere / mixing in / with piney air. / Forest has a song.â€ The graceful, appealing watercolor illustrations perfectly suit these charming poems that invite young readers into the woodland world at every season.
