This poignant book reminds us to take time to look around us and admire the world we live in. From the creators of Bird House and Bug Hotel, little learners will adore opening the gate-fold pages to reveal the secret wonders of our world.
Review by Stacey
A Walk Through Nature is a children’s non-fiction book featuring thirteen poems all about different items within nature. Each poem is only around three verses long and features a corresponding full-page illustration on the opposite side.
Alongside the poems and the pictures, the right-hand side page opens out again to reveal factual information about the item/animal that is the subject of the poem as well as a few cut-out sections for children to peep through.
The book is large in size, around picture book size and the illustrations are eye-catching and beautiful. The poems are adorable too though I think older children will appreciate them more than picture book readers.
A Walk Through Nature is a charming read and one that nature lovers will enjoy. It would also make for a fabulous book to have in school for class projects on the natural world/environment.
