Fifteen poems, varied in form and mood, portray creatures that live in the woods. The collection includes a bobcat, a raccoon, and a bear awakening from winter sleep. Short profiles add animal information, while watercolor and mixed-media art accompanies the poems. The woodland animals are described as secretive, and their inner lives remain mysterious. David Elliott's poems are paired with art by Rob Dunlavey.
