I like Joanne Ryder's books about animals. One of my favorites is [b:Mockingbird Morning|5424859|Mockingbird Morning|Joanne Ryder|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1308241260s/5424859.jpg|5492426] which captures my childhood experiences perfectly. I found this book to be less successful at immersing me in a nature experience though the side-by-side illustrations of a chipmunk and a chipmunk-sized child were beautifully done. The story was neither fantasy nor reality, it couldn't decide if it was observing or experiencing.
Still, a nice glimpse underground into chipmunk land.

This book presents a wonderful way to learn about the life of a chipmunk, by imagining to be one! The pictures and descriptions are incredible.
