"This a wonderful nature story. It uses real life pictures of animals in their habitats to go along with a story about different animals perspectives of unknown visitors in the woods. It does an AWESOME job of using descriptive words and would be great to use in a lesson where you taught how to use adjectives in a story."
"Sams II, C.R. and Stoick, J. (2000). Stranger in the woods. Milford, MI: Carl R. Sams II Photography.
Summary: Animals and birds in the wintry woods notice a stranger (snowman) suddenly appears among the snow and trees. Photos of the creatures approaching the snowman are engaging and full-page.
Reviews/Awards: American Booksellers Book Sense Book of the Year (ABBY) Award, 2001 Finalist Benjamin Franklin Award, 2000 Winner Borders Original Voices Award, 2003 Finalist International Reading Association, 2001
Curriculum Connection: * Great for introducing quotation marks and speech to students as there is a lot of dialogue among the animals and birds.
Publication Info: Carl R. Sams II Photography, Inc. (2000)
Reading Level: Ages 9-12; fluent
Topic/Theme: winter, wild life, woodlands
Issues Addressed: feeding animals in the wild, winter in the woods
Classroom Uses: independent reading, read aloud; I would use this book to discuss the outdoors during the winter or spark discussion on how children interact with wild life
Summary: Animals in the woods sense that a stranger has arrived. They cautiously discover a snowman that has been built by children overnight. They also discover that the snowman can be eaten. There are seeds left in the hat, a carrot nose, and acorns for eyes and mouth. The animals enjoy the stranger and the children refill the treats often.
Text and image: The text in this book is positioned differently on some pages, which may make it hard for children to read. The photographs used as illustrations in this book really enhance the story and draw readers in to look at this mysterious stranger through the eyes of the woodland animals.
Literary Devices: personification (animals are speaking)"
