In the Forest - by Nancy Dickmann (Paperback)

About the Book

"How people live in forests all around the world"--

Book Synopsis

People live in all kinds of places, from bustling cities to remote mountains, and from the cold tundra to hot deserts. Our physical environment can affect the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses we build, and how we get around. This fascinating series takes readers on a journey around the world. By focusing on familiar, everyday activities, it shows how people's lives can be very different, but also very similar, to our own.
Forests can be cool and shady, hot and humid, or cold and snowy. They're full of plants and animals that we depend on. Around the world, people find ways to carve out a life among the trees. Find out what it's like to live in a forest, from traveling by canoe to building a tree house!
