Children of the Forest: Mini Edition (Elsa Beskow Mini series) Review: Powerful, Simple, Beautiful - "Never hurt the creatures of the forest, unless they mean you harm." I couldn't describe the workings of the natural world better to my son than this statement and this book. Nature is not always kind, not always pretty. But the cycles of life mean that one creature eats another, and thus we all take energy so that we may live. I'd rather introduce my son to the ways creatures try to defend themselves and cling to life, and then someday he will learn that sometimes, animals give their lives so that we may eat and live. And if he is ever in a life-threatening situation someday, I want him to be able to defend himself with strength, not cowering in fear as he worries about hurting someone or something else who means him harm. There are so many beautiful lessons in this book, about the seasons of life and taking care of ourselves. The little boys even learn in a very visceral way to be kind to the creatures who will not harm us - when they are stung by the ants they have disturbed. This is going to be a wonderful story, one that we will read and enjoy over and over throughout the years. It represents the fantasy childhood world I want my son to encounter, and is a beautiful reminder of the magical life. Review: Children of th e Forest - Love the story and illustrations. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,483 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Children's Multicultural Tales & Myths #214 in Children's Nature Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (416) | | Dimensions | 6.8 x 0.4 x 5 inches | | Edition | Mini edition | | ISBN-10 | 0863154972 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0863154973 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | September 15, 2005 | | Publisher | Floris Books | | Reading age | 2 - 6 years, from customers | ## Images ![Children of the Forest: Mini Edition (Elsa Beskow Mini series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813s9pzVQCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, Simple, Beautiful *by F***A on May 6, 2010* "Never hurt the creatures of the forest, unless they mean you harm."

Being an artist and teacher I incorporated reading into my lessons. When you can imagine how children love illustrations the reading done by a teacher/ storyteller it makes all the difference. ## Frequently Bought Together - Children of the Forest: Mini Edition (Elsa Beskow Mini series) - Peter in Blueberry Land: Mini Edition (Elsa Beskow Mini series) - The Story of the Root Children --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9544593-children-of-the-forest-mini-edition-elsa-beskow-mini-series](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9544593-children-of-the-forest-mini-edition-elsa-beskow-mini-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
