"The birds were the first to notice... Stranger in the Woods! Stranger in the
Woods!"

In this poetic tale, beautifully illustrated entirely with wildlife photographs, the
animals of the deep woods awake, after a winter storm, to the news of a
stranger lurking in their midst. The deer, muskrat, mouse, rabbit, cardinal,
porcupine, and many others sing a song of excitement about this strange, yet
friendly creature with the carrot nose. And after the animals discover the
feast this wondrous snowman has to offer, the children who built him vow to
replenish their snowman's facial features until winter has long faded away.

Self-published by Sams and Stoick, this book is a toddler's nighttime dream.
Stranger in the Woods has already won national recognition (the very
prestigious Benjamin Franklin Award) for its attention to the finest
photographic detail. The animals who live on these pages are so alive, I can
hear their soft footsteps in the snow. And if that's not enough, the animal's
photographs are so perfect, my seventeen-month-old son chanted "off, off" as
he attempted to peel them off the pages!
