ABOUT THE STORY: In Art and Oakie's second adventure, they speak up for all the animals who call the forest home. When Art forgets her school lunch, Oakie the good-natured oak tree sets out on a mission to return it to her. Along the way, Oakie makes an unexpected friend (Bear, of course), who likes the smell of Art's lunch. 
 
When Art learns the woods where Bear lives have been cut down, she draws up a plan to save the day. Along with her classmates, Art and Oakie start a wildlife reserve for all the animals of the forest.
 
ABOUT THE SERIES: In each book, Art and Oakie go on an adventure to help their friends in nature. What makes the Art & Oakie Ask series unique is that each book is a nearly wordless graphic novel for young readers. Instead of prose, lush comic book illustrations tell the story. To read each book aloud, you and your little ones get to make up the story for yourself, so no matter one's age or reading ability, you can speak up for our beautiful natural world with Art and Oakie!
