Review:

An essential family guide to child-led activities that will help you discover the wonders of flora and fauna. Daily Express I love this. A wildlife handbook, a sketchbook, a diary, it is really interesting and relevant, whether you are out in the garden, trudging through woods or stuck behind and artic on the A14. Indeed your sweet;ittle dearly beloveds will be fascinated by the bits on road kill. With tips on beachcombing and facts about birds, flowers and trees, it is a useful primer too. All shot through with poetry. No really. Robert Browning, W.B Yeats, Walter de la Mare walk with you along the hedgerows and there's nothing quite like pond-dipping with Gerald Manley Hopkins for an earworm. Families Lots of activities pictures and poetry to encourage your child to explore wildlife Junior treasures abound throughout the pages of this magnificent treat of a book. School Librarian a treasure trove of activities, information, observation, pictures and poetry. Surrey Nature
