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
From the bestselling Jon Klassen, Your Forest is one in a trio of casebound board books perfect for sharing and gifting to the youngest of children.
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. One in a trio of board books focussing on safe spaces, comfort and imagination.
"A comforting board book about imagination and safe spaces from the legendary author of I Want My Hat Back that creates a charming forest from a handful of familiar objects." - Waterstones
"Full of the usual Klassen charm, young children will enjoy the simple and straightforward way this book is written, while adults will appreciate the deadpan humour." - The Scotsman
