This is called a Read Along or Read Alone (tm) book. The story is written like a play for groups but may be read to a toddler. Rachel receives a diary from her Nana and she writes every day about her adventures with hundreds of friends she meets in the forest.

The Middle Grade version of this story is titled, "Rachel's Adventures with Mother Nature's Rescue Squad."
