Synopsis

Shortlisted, Eve Pownall Award for Information Books, Children's Book Council Awards 1994 Winner, Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children's Literature 1994 Here is the fascinating story of what happens when a tree crashes down in the forest. Slowly, over the days, months and years that follow, it becomes home, food store, hunting ground and nursery for many different plants and animals. In time, the rotten remains of the old tree mix with the soil and provide food for new trees growing in the forest - the cycle is complete. Life in a rotten log explores a beautiful microcosm of nature; a vivid example of the cycle of life, and the interdependence of all living things. Kathie Atkinson has a gift for fostering children's understanding of plants, animals and the environment. Her brilliant photographs and clear, spirited text reveal intriguing details, and explain many vital processes. Wild Books are documentary-style books that encourage children to explore the natural world. The first book in the series was Treasure Island.
