Reviews

'The first a new series of wonderfully inspiring activity books, full of indoor and outdoor activities. We loved the photos which showed happy children in jumpers and wellies thoroughly enjoying the activities -- photos that really inspire you get outdoors, despite the colder weather.
An invaluable book for those who feel childhood should be close to nature and in touch with the seasons. Definitely one of the best activity books I have read.'
-- Hilardy Woolf with Isaac (age 5), Education Otherwise, October 2005

'This wonderful book illustrates and describes nature activities for autumn.'
