In Our Forest

This book contains short stories about animals, from which children will learn many new and interesting things. What supplies are stored in the squirrel's pantry? Does the mole like guests? How does the hedgehog protect her children? Why do fawns have white spots? Why do fox cubs always have clean fur? Writer Vera Chaplina worked for over 30 years at the Moscow Zoo. Her works teach to love animals, to protect and study nature. And the tender, bright illustrations by Tamara Zebrova reveal the beauty of the forest world and tell children how important it is to be kind and responsive.
