A Forest in the City is an interesting and engaging nonfiction picture book for introducing older picture book readers to urban forestry. My city has the nickname "Forest City" so it wasn't surprising to see that a lot (but not all) of the featured ideals for urban forestry are present where I live. I did read its sequel, City of Water, first, which was a bit better if I'm honest, but this was still quite informative and gets important information (and tips at the end!) out there. Recommended.

didn't know what this book was about going in (it was another Hoopla bonus borrow). I didn't expect it to be an informative guide to understanding city silviculture! I thought this was informative, and never dumbed down its content to make it more accessible for kids. I think it'd be a great read for older kiddos, but I wish it had a few more attainable suggestions on how kids can get involved in city forestry.
