The Forest

Dam-Dam is off to the forest.

Dam-Dam is big and can put on shoes and a coat without help.

Dam-Dam can walk and dosen’t need to go in the push-chair.

The Forest is big and Dam-Dam is small. There is so much to see among the trees—a butterfly, a feather, birds that twitter and squelchy mud underfoot.

Dam-Dam touches, pokes and feels.

In the meadow there are flowers and grasses.

But what’s that in the middle of the wood?

A funny bush with shiny red balls?

Balls, balls, balls shouts Dam-Dam.

Those are rose hips, says Mum
