    Why this book counts

    • Life Science
    • Environment & Ecology
    • Story / Adventure
    • Expedition / Survival

    One Day in the Woods sends a girl into Teatown Woods at dawn, where her search for an ovenbird turns ordinary forest details into discoveries. The bird's behavior, the changing activity through the day, and the relationships within the forest reward the same patient noticing that drives her adventure.

    The science inside

    • Animals & Zoology
    • Ecosystems
    • Scientific Discovery & Careers

    Your child will meet:

    • Bird calls, movement, nests, and feeding behavior provide evidence for identifying forest species.
    • A forest habitat supplies different organisms with food, shelter, nesting sites, and cover.
    • Patient observation at different times of day reveals patterns that a quick visit can miss.

    Use it this way

    Choose one scene in which the girl notices something before she understands it and ask your child to name the sensory clue and the later explanation. If you try a real bird walk, observe from a distance, stay on allowed trails, and never disturb nests or use calls to harass birds.

    Parent effort: No prep

    There's a wizard hiding in the Teatown Woods. And Rebecca is determined to find it. Her uncle has told her about the beautiful ovenbird, "the wizard of the woods, " and Rebecca thinks it must be magic. But when she sets out into the forest at dawn, she never expects to find magic everywhere she looks. A squirrel flies through the air. A deer vanishes before her eyes. A wood duckling falls from the sky. And the mysterious ovenbird holds the greatest surprise of all.
