This book is talk about the funny things in the forest. The forest is scary and the beautiful and there is have lots of golden things like the elephant, bear, tiger lots of things. So, the first one is about the bears, the bear is a very important animal in the forest their can be the medicine it can also be a food, so for those things the people wanted to get the bears and they kill lots of bear, the second one is the elephants because the beautiful shiny ivory is very valuable some people Someone will even buy it for millions of dollars that is very Valueless so that is very important. The forest seasons is also funny, in the spring time the forest and the leave is change to the Green yellow and in the summer time the forest and the leave is change to the all green, l like the autumn because in the autumn the forest is very beautiful and the all forest is change to the red or yellow or orange that is so colorful. the winter time is little beautiful because you can see the color is like the black and the write that is like the beautiful photo.But the finally source is the energy, where the forest energy from, the forest energy is from the sun and the soils, the soils is gave the forest nutrient content or water and the sun gave the sunlight. this is all my think about this book, this book are told me the things of the forest, that is so powerful.

This is a good introduction into what a forest is and what is meant by the term "temperate forest." It is a book that is meant for young readers, but the data is good and anyone can learn the a-b-c's of forestry from such a tome, even if it be short and easily understood.
