The deep green, leafy illustrations show dark, tall, dense vegetation, with a hint of animal eyes here and there. The verses foster a sense of respect and wonder for natural ecosystems, and the creatures that dwell within them, in this unforgettable read-aloud treasure. "Tiny masked faces looking / Between trees. / Bright yellow leaves soon to fall / Into a flowing blue stream / As tiny families scramble along, / Undaunted by the tall trees. / Some are closer than you think. / There's something wild / in there."
