A Forest

beautiful, simple, meaningful

Bought for a friend who particularly loved the combination of watercolour and coloured pen and said it's lovely to dip into repeatedly in more detail to appreciate the individuality of all the quirky little trees. The book creatively shows the impact of humans on nature, and how given half a chance, nature can come back and get things in balance again.

My Year 1 class thoroughly enjoyed this very simple story and it provoked a long heartfelt discussion on the effects of deforestation. The beautiful illustrations really make the book (which actually has very few words) and make it one to treasure.

I used this book to teach my class of hearing impaired children about how important it is to protect our natural world.The pictures are beautiful and the book has a very strong message.

Very interesting book bought for a Christmas present for grandchildren. I am sure it will bring forth many questions about the environmentin which we live.

A very important and beautiful book for all ages, small format with a big message.Absolute joy, love the hopeful ending. Impressive first book by an enormous talent.

I bought this after receiving a copy of 'A River', which my 2 year old son adores. However, all the variety and different styles of art and image in 'A River' was the best thing and this book's images are repetitive and barely hold his attention.Condition and delivery time spot on.

A beautifully illustrated book with a beautiful message. Very proud to read this to my son

true and important story about what people do to their environment!we also have "the river". great stories, well written for kids!

A subtle cautionary tale about deforestation. Simple and beautifully illustrated, this is a great book to introduce children to conservation and human impact. Martin's artwork is stunning!

Love the artwork in this book.

A short sweet book. You're buying it for the beautiful illustrations and print quality - the story is unlikely to capture toddler attention and may be better for an older child (say, 5 or 6) who is interested in ideas about nature and conservation.

Loved this book and the watercolor pictures are beautiful!
