On a springtime walk, a boy travels through various landscapes--forest, meadow, stream, and pond--and in each, he catalogs the plants and animals that he finds there. Executed in acrylic paint, the realistic nature scenes invite close and careful inspection. At the back, an easy-to-use numerical key to the book's four three-panel foldout pages helps readers who need assistance identifying the creatures and plants.
