This book is perfect for lockdown! It is full of inspiring and thought-provoking messages in a child-friendly format, incorporating vibrant pictures and simple instructions. I really enjoy the way the activities are interspersed with key messages about watching out for our destructive footprints and always taking care to put wildlife’s welfare before our curiosity. It is cleverly aimed at encouraging children into the outdoors, while also appealing to educators with its reference to aspects of children’s learning objectives cleverly incorporated. For example, the reference to using our senses when becoming ‘Nature Detectives’ could be used in any number of ways in the outdoors but also as a follow up in the classroom too. This book could be used by children aged 7 + as an independent tool but seems also to be a great reference for all the family or class. I will certainly be using it this summer.
