Book Children of the Forest

Description

All the children wore red-and-white spotted caps. If strangers came into the forest, they curled up, still as stone, for all the world like four red-and-white spotted mushrooms. In the roots of an old tree live the children of the forest. Each season brings new adventures: swimming in the summer, hide-and-seek in the autumn, snowballs in the winter – but spring holds the best surprise of all.
