Mousekin's eyes shine as he journeys through the forest investigating the ABC's of the woods. He finds acorns to store. He sees bats that sleep upside down. He hears insects that whistle and sing. He spies quail huddled together, tight in a ring.

The journey is fascinating and instructive. Each letter is illustrated by Edna Miller's warm and delicate water colors and is further complimented by a simple verse. Each verse is designed to make nature more interesting and accessible to young children.
