Over in the Woodland: A Mythological Counting Journey by Shar Abreu, Nicole Abreu

5.0

“Over in the Woodland” is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a pride of griffins adventuring through the woods. They peek at different creatures as they go about their day until they make it back home to their mother griffin.

This story is a wonderful blend of counting and picture search with an added flare of magic. “Over the Woodland” centers on the meaning of family. Each creature that appears in the book is actively learning and living together in harmony. It is a part of the circle of life that each parent or guardian shares their knowledge with their children so that they can grow. “Over the Woodland” is an endearing tale of family life that is elegantly depicted in the images of these magical creatures.
