Little Deer and his helpful mouse friend encounter chipmunks, insects, spiders, rabbits, lizards, snakes, and birds on this nature trail adventure. Each page is filled with Maurice Pledger's beautifully detailed illustrations, and includes a variety of touch-and-feel textures and a lift-the-flap, pop-up surprise. Small children can easily relate to the endearing animal characters, and this book teaches them about the importance of camouflage and why certain animals hide themselves in the woods. Questions on each page for children to answer reinforce what they've just learned or direct them to pick out certain elements in each picture. Like other titles in Maurice Pledger's Nature Trails series, Hiding in the Woods stimulates a child’s curiosity about the natural world.
