The Forgotten Forest by: Laurence Anholt

This was a very nice book about a huge forest that is gradually cut down and replaced with city buildings until just a small section of the forest remained. Then, when the last bit of forest was about to be cut down the workers realized from the children crying to save the forest that instead of cutting down the trees they should cut down the fence holding the forest in. The illustrations in this book were the best part they are very intricate and well done with a lot of attention to detail. I think the pictures portray the story in a way that shows the beauty and importance of the forest. I also like how the text is under the pictures instead of on top of them because it makes it easier to read and follow along with. This would be a great book for a child to read because it also has a positive environmental message.
