"Lulling rhythms, interactive language, and repeating words soothe and amuse, giving readers a place to envision themselves and return to whenever they like." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
From the incomparable Jon Klassen, one in a trio of companion board books for the youngest of children
With a minimal tableau of familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, a forest and all its items—a cabin, some rocks, a (nice) forest ghost, a stream, a bridge—are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is a forest for a young child to have whenever they want to go there. One of a trio of board books focusing on safe spaces, comfort, and imagination, Your Forest signals both a departure for Jon Klassen and a story whose peculiar touches of whimsy stamp the book as iconically his.
Your Forest by Jon Klassen
"Engaging board book bought as a gift for my nephew’s baby daughter. Both the text and the illustrations invite you into a friendly forest at storytime. Penguin Books ensured there was a Canadian edition as Klassen is an expat now based elsewhere. One of three in a series."
