Book Reviews of Where Once There Was a Wood (Owlet Book)

Book Review: Ecology Awareness in the Woods
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the final book we used in our preschool autumn unit on Camping. The urban children gained an appreciation of forests and the animals that live there as we read many books and engaged in many hands-on activities. We cooked on a campstove, kept our food in a little cooler, took naps in an indoor tent, and learned something about many forest animals. I heard several exclamations of, "AWWWW, OH NO!" as they realized the wood was gone - replaced by buildings. A great book to open a child's awareness to ecology and conservation both in text and pictures. Highly recommend.

Summary of Where Once There Was a Wood (Owlet Book)

A powerful poem and stunning, handmade-paper art encourage children to protect nature.

"Where once there was a wood,
A meadow and a creek . . . "

Inspired by events in her own backyard, award-winning author and illustrator Denise Fleming creates a poignant yet hopeful portrait of our disappearing natural environment. The last pages of the book teach children how to make a more "creature friendly" backyard, including information about what types of food, trees and flowers attract different kinds of animals. Where Once There Was a Wood also includes an informative bibliography for budding environmentalists, and suggests various projects that families can do together.
