I recently read this picture book to my grade 5/6 'placement' (professional experience) class. They were thoroughly engaged with Baker's collages throughout and recognised the significance of Ben's final actions in the book. The students then went on to create their own 'hidden forest' in an art session. This picture book is certainly a timeless resource for the classroom.
