Enjoy a spirit of youth with Sanctuary of Ten Thousand Forests, a great read-aloud book for family fun. Meet and make friends with the engaging poet Worthyfox, whose manor house has its own zip code. Then there's Bobbie Bobcat Herbal Healer and her husband, Lynxton Leopold Tea Grower. Meet their friends: the baker Bubba Bear, globetrotting photographer F-Stop Lemur, and the lovable Professor Dutter as he goes on his important journey to the Wood Far Away, where his friends must rescue him from one of his unexpected adventures. Along the way, Dutter makes new friends: Filbert Flyer, a delightful baby squirrel who had been lost in a storm with Roo, the story-gathering wood hop; and on Hickory Hollow River, he meets Sir Splash-a-Lot, who helps guide Dutter onto the Runs Forever River, which flows into Rainbow River, taking him back into Two Seasons Woodland-on yet another adventure when his friends arrive after a wild and crazy trip in the Woodland Thangamagigger. Children of all ages will enjoy this story of rollicking fun, so prepare to smile and laugh with the talking animals: Bell birds from the Mystical Mountains and Rainbow River birds who are the flying messengers-all meeting in a gathering of friends, enjoying the candy cake festival, and watching over one another in a celebration of natural beauty that is the Sanctuary of Ten Thousand Forests.
