The Lovereading4Kids comment
This practical introduction to all kinds of wildlife will give young readers a useful way in to looking more carefully at the world around them. Whether you live in the town or the country, there are opportunities to look at nature of some kind! Trees and flowers are everywhere while in less urban areas there are also different ranges of animals, birds and insects according to the specific location. Mark Boyd offers advice not only on how to be an observant naturalist but also on how to record your observations well. The text is extensive and well-illustrated with photographs of what habitats and species look like.
