Summary: Wonderful Animal Adventure Story
Review: I read this book in fourth grade, four years ago, and thuroughly enjoyed it. I found it an interesting story, and more complex and enjoyable than most books that elementary students are able to read. I apreciated being able to see more than one side of the story, and the fact that the characters and their lives were not displayed as perfect. I would reccomend this book to anyone able to appreciate the lighthearted and the more suspenceful or more sad moments. Overall I enjoyed the balance of the story, and that fact that it was about animal and human interaction, but I'm not sure if the younger readers, say before second or third grade, would be able to completely grasp all of the concepts.

Summary: A review for Forest
Review: I think Forest was a great book. As I was looking for a new book to read in my class room, I saw this title so I pulled it off the shelf. (I really like the outdoors so I thought this book might be good.) And surprisingly, I was right, and I read it in about 2 days. The story is told from 2 different views, a view from the tree tops of the town Forest (squirrells) and from the ground of Forest (humans). The main characterof the ground, Amber, explores the trees of Forest and starts to find out more about the squirrells. It seems that they have there own world and language. From the squirrells' point of view, the main character, Woodbine, is very interested in Amber when she comes up in the trees to look at all the squirrells. The squirrells think that the humans are aliens and are afraid of them. Now the some of the squirrells of Forest are planning to have a war against the "aliens"! Woodbine is very much against this, he thinks the "aliens" are harmless. Down in Forest the people are starting to notice that there are tons more squirrells than usual. And Amber's dad wants to take his gun and a few other men to go and shoot the squirrells! Though Amber knows what to do, she still has time before the search and destroy party goes hunting....... to find out more read the book! I very much recommend it!
