What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

In a watery mirror the rugged raccoon admires his face by the light of the moon: the mysterious mask, the whiskers beneath, the sliver of cricket still stuck in his teeth. Take a lighthearted romp through four seasons in the forest with these whimsical poems. Marvel at the overachieving beaver, applaud the race-winning snail and its perfect trail of slime, or head off to be pampered at a squirrel spa. Warning: Deborah Ruddell’s quirky cast of animal characters and Joan Rankin’s deliciously daffy pictures will cause giggles. The woods have never been so much fun!
