This is the third picture book from the informative series about trees by Ukrainian writer Kateryna Mikhalitsyna and illustrator Oksana Bula. This is a story of a grunting badger and naughty squirrels who saved the forest from the fire. Readers will also learn how spruce and larch prepare for the winter, and whether oak moss is actually a moss and why one cannot burn deadwood. The book is also interactive: you can try and find all the firebugs hidden in the pictures, learn to distinguish different trees and make a garland in ecostyle.
