A young boy visits a tropical rainforest in Queensland, Australia. 'My father says there has been a forest here for over a million years,' he tells us, and we follow him through the ancient forest as he makes believe it is a time long ago. But how much longer will the forest remain, he wonders?

Review:

This Big Book edition is particularly good for the classroom and for sharing with groups of children.

In this prize-winning tale, a young Australian boy's father takes him by boat to a tropical rainforest. The boy explores, musing about the nature of the forest, its history and future until it's time to go eat the fish his father has caught and cooked.

Stunningly illustrated with Baker's gorgeously colourful and textured collages, and featuring a rainforest modelled on a real wilderness in North Queensland, Where the Forest Meets the Sea is sure to stimulate thought and debate, and encourage even the youngest reader to develop an interest in the environment. (Ages 4 to 8)--Lisa Gee

A regular size edition is also available.

Review:

Every detail... is made up in relief collage from clay, papers, fabrics, leaves and much else, creating a dimesion that really fires the imagination. * The Good Book Guide * Each time the reader opens the book, there is something new and delightful to catch the eye. * New Scientist *
