About book Forest Has A Song: Poems (2013)

Forest Has a Song by Amy Ludwig Vanderwater, illustrated by Robbin GourleyClarion Books, 2013Poetry32 PagesRecommended for grades 2-4If you've ever spent a day in or near a forest you will feel the authenticity of the poems in this collection. With the opening poem "Invitation" we are beckoned into the forest. Once inside the forest we experience the change of seasons, the wildlife within the forest walls, and the simple things one finds to do within.The soft watercolor illustrations perfectly compliment the feel of the poems.I'll be adding this to my poetry collection! A collection of poems about features of a forest. There are soooooo many titles to love but my favorites are "Forest News" which is about looking at animal tracks to see what's been happening in the forest, "April Waking" which uses deliciously fun language to describe the onset of Spring, and "Fossil" which describes an imaginative experience across centuries.Watercolor paintings illustrate every page. Overall, a fresh offering of poetry that highlights nature's beauty.
