Your Forest
A stylish first board book, perfect to gift babies and toddlers aged 0-3 from Jon Klassen, bestselling creator of I Want My Hat Back
A stunning casebound baby board book by international bestseller Jon Klassen!
A perfect story for young nature-enthusiasts, kids learning their first words and as a bedtime read-aloud, Your Forest is a must-have introduction to reading for a new baby, new parents or to gift at baby showers and birthdays.
This is a forest for a young child to have whenever they want to go there. With familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, a forest and all its items – a cabin, some rocks, a (nice) forest ghost, a stream, a bridge – are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down.
Praise for the series!

[Jon Klassen] creates spaces in which children can imagine themselves […] The simplicity of the artwork makes way for the wonderful humour: it’s all in the eyes!

Creating a comfortable, safe space for readers, the Your Places series is just perfect for toddlers and pre-readers. Grab some toys and let them assemble their own spaces as they read with you.
Mom Read It
Everything Jon Klassen writes has me hypnotized (not to mention my 4-year-old). This one has even more eyes in it than usual!
