A forest is a delicately balanced ecosystem, and each animal that lives in it plays an important role. Some of these animals, such as foxes and bobcats, are beloved because people consider them to be cute. Others, such as opossums and skunks, have a bad reputation due to common misconceptions about them. Each volume in this series takes an in-depth look at one forest animal. The engaging main text, augmented by informative fact boxes, shows readers how crucial each one is to its environment.
