Cody's Cabin: Life in a Pine Forest tells the tale of a cocker spaniel named Cody who explores a mountain woodland near the cabin he shares with his human family. Within the aspen leaves and pine branches, among the colorful wildflowers and deep in the thorny thickets Cody sees, smells, hears, and touches nature. Children will delight in Cody's antics with squirrels and shiver as the small dog meets a black bear. Not simply an engaging story, Cody's Cabin is also a strong teaching tool, encouraging children to explore natural areas using their own senses. Included in the book are activity pages, nature tidbits, and vocabulary words to further engage and educate young readers.
