Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is in an inquisitive, playful mood and needs an activity that stimulates their visual imagination. It is the perfect choice for winding down after a busy day or for a rainy afternoon when you want to spark a sense of mystery without any of the actual fear associated with things that go bump in the night. The story takes readers on a walk through a woods where everything is shrouded in mist.

Parents will appreciate how it builds anticipation and encourages vocal participation, making it a highly interactive experience that develops early literacy skills while keeping the atmosphere light and magical.
