Tanja Markhus (ill.)
In the forest
A board book about bees, beetles and other small insects

In this lively book, illustrator Tanja Markhus takes children on a whirlwind journey among flowers and grass, pine cones and leaves.

Here they meet everything from beetles and ants to bees and butterflies, and can follow the various characters on adventures. Markhus imaginatively draws quirky characters and funny encounters. The book contains no text, so young and old readers can find their own stories here.

Wonderful, beautiful and important book! Tetiana Kosovska draws so vividly that she gives nature herself. The detailed drawings are so full of stories that one can read the book over and over again and discover something new each time.
