Young readers can explore the outdoors to their hearts’ content in this beautifully illustrated treasury. There’s a different scene on each double page, from field to farm, beach to mountain. Very short paragraphs of text, just two or three lines long, describe what we can see and point out things to examine – berries in a hedge, the fox trotting silently to its den, a lizard basking in the sunshine.
Clare Beaton’s collage-style illustrations are clear and as colourful as their subjects, full of movement and just the right amount of detail. There’s a glossary at the end, with nature words such as amphibious, foraging, hibernating, and questions sending little ones back through the book to count the moths on the NIGHT page and limpets in the ROCK POOLS page. Can you find the ant hiding on every page too?
A perfect book to encourage growing minds to look closely at nature and to build up their knowledge of the world around them.
Here is a beautiful celebration of those small moments in nature that calm and soothe the soul.
