Summary

Spotting wildlife is a thrill, but it's not easy. When Cole comes to visit his friend Helena, he can't wait to see all the wildlife the forest has to offer and is disappointed when all he sees are a few birds. Together the kids set out on a hike and encounter plenty of animal signs along the way. Through observation and her knowledge of animal behavior, Helena helps Cole learn what each of the signs means: something had been there; something had done that.

Horn Book Review

Young Helena shows her friend Cole around the forest. Although Cole is disappointed that he doesn't see wild animals, Helena points out their traces: "Helena picked up a long, black feather... 'Eagles catch salmon here.'" The text's refrain--"Something had been there. Something had done that"--grows repetitive; stiff illustrations and amateurish design detract from the somewhat engaging science. Activities appended. (c) Copyright 2017.
