Every forest contains a thousand secrets... In this charming anthology of stories readers will be guided into forests to meet the amazing animals that live there. In one story a squirrel hunts for an elusive acorn it buried earlier in the year, while another looks at an Alaskan wood frog as it freezes itself alive to survive a harsh winter.Other stories feature wild cats, pangolins, badgers, foxes, monarch butterflies, walking fish, and even forest-dwelling penguins! Each story is based on the real behaviour of these amazing wild animals, and at the end of each tale readers will find out more about the science that inspired the story. So as they drift off to sleep, they will know a little bit more about the world around them.
