This book was read to me in school between Fall 1983 and Spring 1984. It seemed to be an older book even then. I remember that there wasn't a main character but that it followed one animal after another through the forest occasionally with humans moving the connection on. Example a Frog eats mosquito larvae and we follow the frog for a bit then it gets eaten by a bass who in turn is caught by a fisherman and stolen by a raccoon.

It seemed like a large book with no pictures. My teacher also read "Where the Red Fern Grows" that year and the teacher has since passed away. I got the sense it was a "classic." This book was not anamorphic in any way. No talking deer or anything like that, it just followed each animal along on it's day.

I can't remember if those specific things happen, but the style sounds like Wild Season by Allan Eckert.
