Here is a new Glenn Blough book—a dramatic explanation of simple science which will surely be one of the author's most popular titles.

The forest is exciting to everyone—especially to boys and girls. Like Ted of this book, they will learn to STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN to the living things around them. They will see how the forest grows; how Ted's father and other "forest farmers" do their part to keep the forest healthy so that it can continue to grow the lumber we all need, and distribute the rainfall, and be a source of enjoyment for everyone. And most exciting of all, they will climb up into the forest ranger's look-out tower and see at first hand how forests are protected against fire and how fires are fought if they start.

This is a conservation story for very young citizens. It will give them an appreciation of the beauty and usefulness of great forests and an understanding of the importance of taking care of them. The language is easy. The type is large. Jeanne Bendick's bright colored pictures are lively and informative.

A must for the elementary science shelf beside the other Blough-Bendick books of simple science and nature material.
