Fraser is a Forest Ranger and he loves his job. He checks on the trees, he checks on the animals, and he always ends his day with a stack of pancakes by the fire. But being a forest ranger can get lonely. Fraser spends his nights, weekends, and even birthdays alone. So, Fraser sets out to find a friend. He travels far. But the beach is too hot, the zoo makes him miss his own animal friends back home, and everyone in the city is too busy. All hope seems lost, but could it be that Fraser is just one wrong turn away from a true friend after all?
Matthew Schufman’s heartwarming debut featuring his bold and expressive illustrations make Fraser the Forest Ranger a friend that young readers will be asking to visit again and again.

Preschool-Grade 3 A forest ranger, Fraser lives in a cabin atop Pine Peak, surrounded by the forest he loves. He walks down through the woods daily, checking on the animals and trees. Later, he goes home and eats his dinner (pancakes) by himself. He paddles a canoe by himself, plays chess by himself, and celebrates his birthday by himself. Realizing that he's lonely, Fraser goes to a city, but no one ever stops to talk with him. He walks back in the dark. Entering the cabin, he's shocked to find another ranger there. He's in Hazel's cabin, and she invites him for dinner (pancakes!). No longer lonely, Fraser loves the forest and especially loves having a friend nearby. An unassuming fellow, Fraser is among the picture-book characters who long for friendship and, when they look, find it. The narrative, written in short, well-phrased sentences, reads aloud well. Created using paint, paper, and digital media, the richly colorful illustrations bring order and balance even to the forest. A pleasing picture book featuring a quiet character.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
